The Connection Screens
The three screens available for maintaining connection instances are labeled Update, Inquiry, and
Browse. The respective screens allow you to make an inquiry concerning a specific connection,
to browse a list of all connections, or to disable/enable a connection.
A connection instance is an established TCP/IP connection between a remote endpoint and a
Requester or a Handler. For the purposes of TMA TCP for CICS, a remote endpoint is an TMA
TCP gateway gateway executing within a remote Oracle Tuxedo domain.
