Architecture

The Server Option runs on an IBM z/Series or plug-compatible mainframe computer. The Server Option uses LU 6.2, CPI-C, or IBM TCP/IP communications with a host transaction processor, such as MVS, as a communications front end.

NoteThe Server Option for IMS and MVS functions only in a three-tier (gateway-enabled) environment.

When installing and using the Server Option, follow the instructions in this book for your environment.
