XJGate APIs

XJGATE is a set of APIs that allow a program to connect XCICS in order to activate transactions and to exchange data with them.

XJGATE APIs are available both for the following programming languages:

•	C language

•

Java.

The use of the XJGATE APIs is discouraged and maintained only for backward compatibility reasons. Programmers that want to communicate with programs running under XCICS/TS should consider the opportunity to use other communication protocols like SNA ISC, TCP/IP sockets or web services.

For further information on how to program the with XJGATE API please refer to the XJGATE APIs Guide.

The gateway transaction

In order to provide an easier gatewaying interface a gateway program has been provided: XJGT.

define program name=XJGT, language=java, path=com.hite.xjgate.XJGateServer;
define transaction name=XJGT, program=XJGT, twa=512, protection=64;
