Chapter 1: Introducing the Mainframe Connect IPS

The two-tier environment

The following figure illustrates the use of the Mainframe Connect IPS components in a two-tier, gateway-less environment. IPS components are noted in bold type.

Figure 1-2: Gateway-less (without DirectConnect for z/OS Option)

The two-tier, gateway-less environment does not use a DirectConnect for z/OS Option gateway for communication between LAN applications and the mainframe.

NoteFunctionality associated with a DirectConnect for z/OS Option gateway is not present in a two-tier configuration. One exception, however, is that of transaction name mapping, which is available for the Server Option in a two-tier configuration. For a comparison of functionality between the two-tier and three-tier environments, see Appendix A, “Gateway-less and gateway-enabled environments.”
