CICS® Universal Client can
use the Windows® named
pipes protocol to communicate with TXSeries® for Windows and CICS Transaction
Server for Windows servers
that are on the same computer. This protocol provides a fast communications
method independent of any network protocol.
The following definitions are required:
- The CICS server
must have a Listener Definition for the NamedPipe protocol.
- The NamedPipeName attribute must match the Named pipe name setting
in the CICS Universal Client configuration.
All other attributes can use their default values. Named pipe name must
be 6 alphanumeric characters; for example, CICSCC.
- The Named pipe name setting
in the configuration file must
match the NamedPipeName attribute in the CICS server
Listener Definition. Use the Configuration Tool to
select the NamedPipe protocol, in the Server panel (see Configuring Server settings).
This selection creates the correct settings in the configuration file including
a LOCALNP Driver section with DriverName set to CCLCLPIP.
