TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS 8.1.0

# Communication Methods

The Platform Server Interactive interface can communicate with the Platform Server started tasks through three methods: program call, SNA LU6.2, and TCP.

For information of how to define the communication method between the Platform Server Interactive interface and started tasks, see TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation Guide.

## Program Call

This is the most efficient way to communicate with the Platform Server; however, to use this communication method, the Platform Server client must be running the same z/OS instance as the Platform Server.

## SNA LU6.2

To use this communication method, the Platform Server client APPLID (for more information, see "Defining VTAM Resources for Systems Using SNA" in TIBCO® Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operation Guide) must be defined on the system which runs the Platform Server client. If the Platform Server client APPLIDs are defined on each z/OS mainframe, the z/OS instance on which the Platform Server or client is running is unimportant.

## TCP

To use this communication method, TCP must be running on the systems on which the Platform Server client and server are executed.
