This TCP/IP Port Management System is designed to manage, and easily control communications between other platforms and IBM i with TCP/IP communications protocol.
It is very easy and quick to install and has a dashboard to manage and control, on one screen, all aspects of jobs and parameters handled by the system.
It also generates alerts to system operator, or to a specific message queue (defined for each port) in case of any failure or lack of data traffic after a certain period of time.
Once configured, it allows to:
In general
- Manage up to 8192 ports simultaneously
- Manage frames in virtually any format
- Manage conversions from ASCII to EBCDIC and EBCDIC to ASCII (CCSIDs used for conversions)
- Manage a port on a specific IP address (Interface on IBM i)
- Manage the use and size of input and output buffers for TCP/IP
- Control dynamically the number of processor threads (parallel transactions)
- Enable and disable ports independently
- Manage configurations grouped by institution (multiple institutions in one system) and, by channel
- Control starting and execution of user created programs (data queue monitors for example)
- Generate logs and statistics
- Encrypt log data
As server
- Call a program to process a frame or to put it on a data queue
- Convert the frame from ISO8583 format to a Data Structure (DS) at reception and convert it back to ISO8583 at response (optional ISO8583 management module)
As Client
- Define the IP address or the Server name
- Indicate to wait filling the output buffer or send data immediatly
- Define Server response timeouts
- Generate automatic reverse for timeouts with multiple retries
- Generate "Keep alive"
User is granted with freedom once he's provided with "template" programs to develop their own frame process programs (no dependency on software provider) and, also for log queries, allows the user to create their own frame format programs.
Its modular design allows any necessary customization feasible without changing the whole system structure and in a very short time.
