This document describes ADATCP, a component of Entire Net-Work, that provides direct point-to-point support for an Adabas nucleus. This allows mainframe TCP/IP-enabled application programs to communicate directly with an Adabas nucleus without requiring intermediate Net-work nodes.

ADATCP runs as a subtask in the Adabas address space. ADATCP utilizes the Adabas Directory Server (ADI) by registering its target ID. This entry contains the target ID, host name, and port number, providing the information the application needs to send Adabas commands directly to a remote Adabas nucleus.

ADATCP also registers its kernel with the ADI, so that Adabas Manager (AMN) can communicate with it. At session end, ADATCP deletes its entries from the ADI.

A database must be enabled for UES to run with ADATCP. ADATCP requires a valid Net-Work (WCP) license, in addition to any other Adabas licenses.
