Debug and/or run the ECI client and server programs.
-
Ensure that the CTGDEMO Enterprise Server is still running.
-
Ensure that the CTG Client/daemon is running. How you do this will depend upon what version of CTG you are running, and we advise you to consult the relevant IBM documentation. The version of CTG we used to develop this demonstration was 8.1.0.1 and we started the CTG client as a Windows service via
Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services and manually starting the
IBM CICS Transaction Gateway service. In other versions of CTG, you can start the CTG Client via
Start > All Programs > IBM CICS Transaction Gateway > Start Client.
-
Verify that the CTG Client is operational by clicking
Start > All Programs > IBM CICS Transaction Gateway > CICS Terminal.
