What does a CSA do?  CSA processing

Chapter 1: Introduction

How does a CSA access and return data?

As the following figure shows, CSAs:

  1. Invoke Open ClientConnect.

  2. Specify the server connection.

  3. Pass the SQL statements through Mainframe Client Connect and to the data source.

In this way, the CSA acts as a client to the local DBMS using Mainframe Client Connect. Because the CSA is a client, the functions you can perform with a CSA are roughly equivalent to functions you can perform with a client application on the LAN, such as ISQL. See Figure 1-2.

CSA can go directly to the LAN Server using TCP/IP (Gatewayless). See Figure 1-2.
