TCP/IP Terminal Interface

The CA Workload Automation SE TCP/IP terminal interface uses TCP/IP to send batch commands to, and receive command output from, the CA Workload Automation SE address space. The interface can be executed from batch, from a REXX address environment, or in a program-to-program mode. The program-to-program interface also includes Java and C program interfaces, which are downloadable from the CA Support Online CA Workload Automation SE Product Page. The interface is similar to the existing CA Workload Automation SE CAICCI terminal interface except that it uses TCP/IP to communicate with CA Workload Automation SE instead of CAICCI.

If a new TCPTPORT=nnnnn keyword is on the UCC7VTAM initialization file statement, CA Workload Automation SE initializes a TCP/IP server at startup. TCP/IP must be running on the same operating environment where CA Workload Automation SE is running. The TCPTPORT keyword specifies the port assigned to the instance of CA Workload Automation SE. Each instance of CA Workload Automation SE running on the same operating environment (that has the same TCP/IP address) requires a unique port number. The person at your installation who is responsible for maintaining TCP/IP assigns ports.

Both CAICCI and TCP/IP share the GROUP/LINE/TERM definitions in the CA Workload Automation SE initialization file. Verify that you have sufficient TERM (DEVICE=CCI) definitions for the number of concurrent CAICCI and TCP/IP users you anticipate.

Online commands that display terminal status (for example, /DISPLAY,T=ALL) show a unique identifier that specifies the port, socket, and TCP/IP address of the connection for a terminal in session using the TCP/IP terminal interface.

The following messages have been changed to new message numbers, and in some cases, new message text. Ensure that any automation on these messages is updated.
