IOAGATE

IOAGATE is communications gateway software (middleware) on the mainframe that enables IOA mainframe applications to communicate with other, mainframe and non-mainframe, applications over the network.

Client applications access INCONTROL products by means of an application server through IOAGATE.

The application server is a separate address space distinct from the IOAGATE address space. It is started by IOAGATE according to IOAGATE parameters. The responsibility of the application server is to handle the application logic, while IOAGATE performs the actual communications and passes the messages between the clients and the application servers.

IOAGATE supports multiple concurrent application servers of different applications and their clients. A single IOAGATE can support Control-M, Control-D/Page On Demand, Control-D File Transfer Option, Control-D/WebAccess Server, and Control-O applications.
