CA Gen 8.6 Support of ECI v2 – Customer Training

When:  Sep 15, 2020 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET)
Associated with  Gen EDGE
Join us on September 15, 2020, at 11 a.m. ET for our next CA Gen Community webcast.

CA Gen 8.6 supports ECI v2 as one of the middleware choices for Gen C clients (GUI, COM Proxy and C Proxy) to communicate with Gen COBOL servers on CICS.

 Benefits of using ECI v2 with CA Gen 8.6 include:
  • ECI v2 provides the ability to send more than 32K of data on each cooperative flow by utilizing Containers.
  • ECI v2 also allows the CICS Transaction Gateway (CTG) to be located on a different machine than the client applications.  This allows for a smaller client footprint and for the configuration/administration of the CTG to be centralized.  
During this webcast, you will hear more about the benefits, see how to implement the feature, and have an opportunity to ask questions directly to one of the CA Gen engineers.  

Speaker: Clay Rabun (@Clay Rabun), CA Gen engineer


Note: CA Gen continues to support ECI v1 for backward compatibility. ​
