When installing Open ClientConnect, system programmers customize the product for the customer site, defining language and program characteristics locally. Some of the customized items are used by Gateway-Library programs.
Gateway-Library functions use the following locally-defined items:
An access code, which is required to retrieve a client’s password.
Two customization options are related to the ability to retrieve client passwords:
The access code itself is defined during customization.
An access code flag is set to indicate whether the access code is required to retrieve the client password.
The native language used at the mainframe (The default is US-English).
Whether DB2 LONG VARCHAR data strings with lengths greater than 255 bytes are truncated or rejected when sent to a client.
Customization instructions are in the Mainframe Connect Client Option for CICS Installation and Administration Guide. The customization module is loaded during program initialization.
