serverID in callLink element

The serverID property of the callLink element of the linkage options part specifies one of several values:
  • If the remoteComType is TCPIP, the serverID must be the TCP/IP port number of a called program's listener. In this case, no default exists.
  • If the remoteComType is CICSECI, CICSEXCI, CICSJ2C, CICSSSL or JCICS, the serverID must be the ID of a CICS® transaction being started during the remote call. In this case, the default is the CICS® server system mirror transaction (CPMI for all remoteComType values except CICSEXCI; for CICSEXCI the default is CSMI).

    The named transaction must be associated with the CICS® mirror program (DFHMIRS) and must have the same characteristics as CPMI. If the remote call includes the invocation of an EGL generated program, the transaction definition must be additionally defined with a TWASIZE of 1024 bytes or more.

  • If the remoteComType property is IMSTCP, the serverID must be the ID of the IMS™ transaction being invoked. In this case, no default exists
The property is used only in the following situation:
  • The value of the type property is ejbCall or remoteCall
  • The value of remoteComType is CICSECI, CICSEXCI, CICSJ2C, CICSSSL, IMSTCP, JCICS or TCP.
