TCP Open Connection
TCP Open Connection is a synchronous activity that opens a connection to a TCP server. After establishing the connection, the activity places a handle to the open connection in the connection output element. The subsequent activities in the process use this connection key for the TCP Connection to read data from, write data to, or close the connection.
