TCP/IP connections to IMS Connect
TCP/IP can be used for the connections between the IMS™ TM resource adapter and IMS Connect in both distributed and z/OS® environments.
When your application is on a distributed platform, the connection between the IMS TM resource adapter and IMS Connect must be a TCP/IP connection. For example, if the IMS TM resource adapter is installed on WebSphere® Application Server on Windows, AIX®, Solaris, Linux, Linux for System z®, or HP-UX, the IMS TM resource adapter must connect with IMS Connect by using TCP/IP connections. You can also optionally use TCP/IP connections if the IMS TM resource adapter is installed on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
TCP/IP connections to IMS Connect are associated with an identifier called the client ID. IMS Connect ensures the uniqueness of these client IDs for all of the socket connections to it.
