The BSA TCP/IP Server enables cross-platform communication between different systems, for instance, between UNIX and z/OS, and allows online access from Web applications, for example. It is a concurrent server. This means that it can serve more than one client at a time by performing tasks in interleaved intervals. It can be used in common by all Beta products and their add-ons, for example, Web Enabler or EDF. The BSA TCP/IP server consists of a request router, the concurrent BSA TCP/IP server itself and its own server client.
The BSA TCP/IP server runs in an SFF (Subsystem Function Facility) environment and – under certain conditions – also in an RFF (Remote Function Facility) environment.
The server is compatible with all Beta products and add-ons, i. e. the server can be activated dynamically without having to change anything within the Beta product or add-on itself.
The BSA TCP/IP server supports global ports and application ports.
