CA TNG Framework

The architecture of CA TNG Framework is centered around a set of core services that are integrated into other CA products. These services include security, resource management, and inter-process communication. The main components include the Security Services, Resource Manager, and Inter-Process Communication (IPC) components.

These components communicate using z/OS system services, such as cross-memory services and ENF (Event Notification Facility). The framework does not use specific ports or network protocols for its internal operations, as it operates within the z/OS environment. Configuration is managed through the configuration of the CA products that utilize the framework.

There are no separate configuration files for the framework itself. The framework does not expose APIs directly. Its functionality is accessed through the APIs of the CA products that integrate it.

Security is handled by the CA products that integrate it, which may include authentication, authorization, and encryption mechanisms. The framework is no longer actively supported; users should consider CA Common Services as an alternative. Migration involves transitioning to these newer platforms and re-implementing the necessary features within the new environment.

This may require re-architecting existing solutions to align with the capabilities of the replacement products.
