The sockets interface must be enabled before TMA TCP for CICS can communicate over TCP/IP. This procedure is true for any CICS program which uses the sockets API. The IBM TCP/IP Sockets Interface is not supplied by Oracle Systems, Inc. You can purchase it directly from IBM. The supplied transaction that accompanies the IBM TCP/IP Sockets for CICS product is used to enable the sockets interface under CICS. Complete documentation is provided with the IBM product.
