CAICCI

CAICCI, the Common Communications Interface, enables CA Top Secret to communicate with other CA products. This optional facility provides a layer that isolates application software from the specifics of the communications environment.

Some of CAICCI's features are:

Single point of control
Multiple platform support
Performance optimization
Program‑to‑program communication
Dynamic installation configuration
Ease of customization
Error handling

Some of CAICCI's benefits are:

Improved portability
Supports complex distributed applications
Eases operational burdens

CAICCI is an optional component and should only be installed if your site chooses to use the Command Propagation Facility (CPF).

When identifying CAICCI nodes using CPF, we suggest specifying a minimum MAXRU of 1024 or more, although a value of at least 4096 is recommended if it can be supported by your network configuration. If necessary, you can specify a MAXRU as small as 256, although a value this small may impact command response time, particularly when synchronous commands with large amounts of output are propagated over non‑channel attached connections.

Regardless of what value you specify, that value must be consistent between all CAICCI nodes.

For information on MAXRU, see the CA‑CIS Reference Guide.
