Using the EPI resource adapter

The CICS® EPI resource adapter allows a J2EE component to communicate with CICS transactions that use 3270 data streams for input and output. The resource adapter makes each EPIConnection object appear to CICS as a 3270 terminal, thus providing access to the CICS 3270 interface. Table 1 shows the J2EE objects corresponding to the EPI terms listed inTerminal characteristics. The CCI interfaces for CICS are in the com.ibm.connector2.cics package.
Note: ATIs are not supported.
