Event Flow from a CONNECT:Direct File Transfer Service

Event flow from CONNECT:Direct uses the following mechanisms:

• For CONNECT:Direct on a z/OS system, the mechanisms are the CONNECT:Direct statistics exit and SOLVE SSI event delivery facility
• For CONNECT:Direct on a distributed system such as Windows, the mechanisms are the CA NetMaster FTM agent and the TCP/IP link

z/OS System

The following diagram shows the flow of events from CONNECT:Direct on a z/OS system to CA NetMaster FTM:

CA NetMaster FTM provides a CONNECT:Direct statistics exit, NMCDSTEX. The exit sends CONNECT:Direct events to a receiver by using the event delivery facility. CA NetMaster FTM listens to that receiver (specified in the CDAPI parameter group) for the events.

The SOLVE SSI task that provides the event delivery facility is specified in the CA NetMaster FTM SSI parameter group.

Distributed Systems

The following diagram shows the flow of events from CONNECT:Direct on Windows to CA NetMaster FTM:

CA NetMaster FTM provides agents for Windows systems. The agent forwards CONNECT:Direct events to the corresponding CONNECT:Direct manager (CDMGR) in your region.

The TCP/IP interface is implemented in the SOCKETS parameter group.

Notes:

• For information about how to implement the agent, see the CA NetMaster File Transfer Management Agent—CONNECT:Direct Installation and Administration Guide.
• For information about how to implement the TCP/IP interface, see the CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP Administration Guide.
