Using the TCP Palette Activities

You can use the TCP palette activities to create a general sequence of events in a process.

Procedure

  1. Create a TCP Connection shared configuration resource that describes the connection information.
  2. Depending on whether the process is a TCP client or server, one of the following occurs:
    1. A connection opens using the TCP Open Connection activity, when a process works as a TCP client communicating with a TCP server.
    2. The process starts either with a TCP Receiver process starter or has a Wait for TCP Request activity that waits for an incoming connection request, when a process works as a TCP server waiting for the incoming TCP requests.
  3. Use the Read TCP Data and Write TCP Data activities to read and write data to the in process TCP connection.
  4. After the process is complete, close the TCP connection using the TCP Close Connection activity.
