************************************************************************

Welcome to the IBM CICS Transaction Gateway ...

This file contains important information about the IBM CICS Transaction
Gateway that may not be available in the printed documentation.

In the following information  refers to the directory in which
you installed the Transaction Gateway.

Summary of Topics
=================
- Installation issues
  - Java Development Kit
  - CICS Transaction Server v1.2 and v1.3 - APARS
- CICS Transaction Gateway SSL support and VAJ v3.0
- IBM NetStation support
- Making ECI calls
- Documentation
- Service and Updates


Installation issues
===================
Java Development Kit
--------------------
The Java Development Kit is required.
Version 1.1.8 PTF1 is recommended. See http://www.s390.ibm.com/java
for details.

Please ensure that you are using build m118-19990911 or later.

CICS Transaction Server v1.2 and v1.3 - APARS
---------------------------------------------
CTS v1.2 users require PQ31270 to be applied to the product before
CICS Transaction Gateway v3.1 can be used.

CTS v1.3 users require PQ25809 to be applied to the product before
CICS Transaction Gateway v3.1 can be used.


CICS Transaction Gateway SSL support and VAJ v3.0
=================================================
When importing the CICS Transaction Gateway v3.1 classes into
Visual Age for Java v3.0 you may be warned that a package containing
com.ibm.sslight.* has been replaced. This is because the
CICS Transaction Gateway ships with a later level of SSLight (SSL).
Please ensure that this level of com.ibm.sslight remains available
to your client application when developing with Visual Age for Java.


IBM NetStation support
======================
Applets running within the JVM supplied with the NC browser fail to
make successful connections with the CICS Transaction Gateway. Message
number CCL6652E is returned to the Applet. Currently there is no solution
to this problem.


Making ECI calls
================
When making ECI calls, the length of the communication area (COMMAREA)
passed to the ECI must not exceed 32500 bytes.


Documentation
=============
To view the PDF documentation you need to install the PDF library on a
workstation that can run the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Currently there is
no Abobe Acrobat Reader available for OS/390.

Adobe Acrobat Readers are provided on the CD-ROM, you will find them
in a subdirectory for each platform under the Adobe directory. Choose
your platform and run the Reader install program.

Later versions of these Readers may be available, see http://www.adobe.com

The PDF library for this product is located in the /ctg/docs directory.
This library (cclha60i.tar.Z) is a compressed TAR archive format, this can
be transferred (in binary format) to a number of platforms and extracted.
TAR archives are standard for UNIX platforms, however, Windows/OS-2 have a
number of tools available which can extract this archive format.

If you have the product CD-ROM, you will also find individual PDF books
in the PDF directory.


Service and Updates
===================
Service and updates will be made available via the Internet.
