InterConnect Option Records

The InterConnect Option (ICO) routes files from a IBM® Connect:Direct® node to an IBM Connect:Enterprise® Secure Client node for distribution, distributes batches to a Connect:Direct node, and provides notification of success or failure of the Process. The InterConnect software copies the entire content of the SYSPRINT file of the IBM Connect:Enterprise Secure Client batch utility, STOUTL, into the IBM Connect:Direct Statistics file.

This report from STOUTL is displayed as a block by IBM Connect:Direct. The InterConnect Option software imposes a limit of 500 lines for the report. These reports are retrievable only through the SELECT STATISTICS command FILE option for batch, and the DISPLAY option for the IUI. Search on Offline Utilities in the IBM Connect:Enterprise for z/OS® User’s Guide for samples of the output reports from the ADD and EXTRACT functions.

Additional statistics records related to the InterConnect Option are written to the statistics facility. For a list of those statistics records, search on Using IBM Connect:Direct Exits in the IBM Connect:Direct for z/OS Administration Guide.

Note: If you specify a statistics exit in the initialization parameters, the LF and RO records are passed to the exit.
