Using the EPI resource adapter
With the CICS® EPI resource adapter a JEE component can communicate with CICS transactions that use 3270 data streams for input and output.
The resource adapter provides access to the CICS 3270
interface because each EPIConnection object is treated as a 3270 terminal
by CICS. The following table shows the JEE objects
corresponding to the EPI terms listed in Terminal characteristics. The CCI interfaces for CICS are in the com.ibm.connector2.cics package.
Note: ATIs
are not supported.
