Additional Features—z/OS

You should be aware of the following additional features of CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS:

• CICS interface

  Turn this on by indicating that you want to notify CICS in the appropriate “remote system notify” field in your version of CA XCOM Data Transport. To do this, provide the VTAM APPLID of the CICS system in the related ID field. Your z/OS or CICS application development team can provide you with this. Invoking this interface should start a CICS transaction program following the successful completion of a transfer if one has been provided at the host.

• Store-and-forward

  Perform transfers between two nodes connected to an intermediate z/OS system by invoking the indirect transfer feature in your version of CA XCOM Data Transport. This asks you for the final destination LU name and sends a transfer in two stages. The first stage goes to the z/OS JES spool, where it waits for the final destination to be connected before the second stage occurs.
