Chapter 1: Understanding the Client Option


What is the Client Option?

The Client Option is a programming environment that provides Open Client™ Client-Library routines for use in building mainframe client applications.

The Client Option runs on an IBM z/Series or plug-compatible mainframe computer. It uses the LU 6.2 or TCP/IP communications protocols and is available for CICS.

NoteThe Client Option is also available for IMS TM and native MVS. This document pertains to the Client Option for CICS only.

Client Option applications can communicate with two kinds of servers:

Client Option applications can send requests to Adaptive Server Enterprise and Server Option applications.

NoteMainframe ClientConnect (MCC) is no longer being provided or supported. Sybase recommends that you migrate from a three-tier (gateway-enabled) environment to a two-tier environment using TCP.
