Starting the Gateway daemon

You can start the Gateway daemon from a command prompt using a screen reader.

In some Telnet sessions, the screen reader might reread CICS® Transaction Gateway log output or the command prompt after the CICS Transaction Gateway has started. This behavior is expected, and does not mean that the CICS Transaction Gateway has failed to start.

To determine if the CICS Transaction Gateway started correctly, check for the message:

 'CTG6512I CICS Transaction Gateway initialization complete'.

If the CICS Transaction Gateway did not start successfully, this message is produced:

 'CTG6513E CICS Transaction Gateway failed to initialize'.

When using a screen reader on Windows, the Gateway daemon should be started and stopped with Windows services by starting and stopping the IBM® CICS Transaction Gateway service. To determine if the CICS Transaction Gateway has started or stopped use the Windows Event Log viewer to check the messages in the Application log.
