Programming Oracle Tuxedo
Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS)
The following subsections identify issues that CICS programmers should be aware of when they
develop or modify application programs that operate with Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for
TCP (CICS) (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP for CICS):
z Client Application Considerations
z Server Application Considerations
Client Application Considerations
The following sections identify issues that CICS programers should be aware of when they
develop or modify application programs that interoperate with TMA TCP for CICS as clients.
To make requests to remote Oracle Tuxedo domains from CICS application programs, use the
EXEC CICS LINK command. The exact layout of the request/response data area is discussed in a
later section.
Buffer Layout Issues
The layout of the data buffer sent between CICS and Oracle Tuxedo should be agreed upon by
the CICS applications programmer, the Oracle Tuxedo applications developer, and the Oracle
Tuxedo administrator to ensure consistency and proper configuration. There are no limitations on
the CICS programmer concerning native COBOL or C data types.
