Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) performs security checks on requests through ASE and may grant or deny a user permission to call a remote procedure. Your TRS administrator can apply this security to all requests by specifying the -D (indirect access) parameter when starting TRS. This parameter requires all client requests to pass through ASE. For further details, refer to the Mainframe Connect DirectConnect for z/OS Option Users Guide for Transaction Router Services.
You must have a three-tier architecture to route transactions in server-to-server mode (for example, through an ASE to the mainframe).
