2.5.2 Processing

  1. When starting, a ARTSTRN/ARTSTR1 server publishes one service per transaction it offers.
  2. When a user transmits a transaction request, the ARTTCPH performs a tpconnect to the corresponding transaction (service).
  3. One ARTSTRN/ARTSTR1 server offering this service receives the request with the associated commarea and screen, then processes the transaction.
  4. Then:
    • In the case of a normal pseudo-conversational CICS transaction; on the RETURN {TRANSID} the server replies to the client, finishing the conversation by a tpreturn() returning the new 3270 screen, and the commarea.
