Statistics application compatibility

Compatibility of statistical applications with different versions of the CICS® Transaction Gateway API.

C and Java statistics applications do not have to be recompiled to run with a newer version of CICS Transaction Gateway. Statistics applications built using a particular version of CICS Transaction Gateway can connect to both newer and older version Gateway daemons.

If you already have a statistics application deployed, and you upgrade your CICS Transaction Gateway to a later level, you can continue to use the existing version of ctgclient.dll for C applications, or ctgstats.jar for Java™ applications on the remote machines, or you can decide to upgrade. You should consider the following points when deciding to upgrade ctgclient.dll or ctgstats.jar on remote client machines:

For Java applications, you must use a JRE version supported by the version of the ctgstats.jar that you have deployed.
