Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
The Connect:Enterprise architecture centers around a central file repository, which stores files for secure transfer. The system supports SNA, BSC, and TCP/IP FTP protocols, each handled by dedicated protocol handlers. The z/OS system console serves as the primary administrative interface.
The file repository utilizes z/OS storage mechanisms, ensuring data integrity and availability. Communication between components is managed through the z/OS operating system. Security is enforced through the z/OS security infrastructure, including authentication and access control.
Encryption, such as FTPS, can be used for secure file transfers. Audit logging is provided to track file transfer activities. Compared to modern solutions, Connect:Enterprise offers a more traditional approach, focusing on secure file transfer within the z/OS environment.
The lack of APIs means that integration requires direct interaction with the communication protocols. The system's strength lies in its integration with the z/OS platform and its support for legacy protocols.
