Connection handler service

The connection handler service is assigned to the INIT service class. The task name for the INIT service is CACINIT.

A connection handler listens for connection requests from client applications and routes the requests to the appropriate administration, monitoring, and operator tasks. The connection handler task can load the TCP/IP communication protocol.

Remote client applications use TCP/IP to communicate with a Classic data server.
