ODEX MVS

The architecture of ODEX MVS is designed for secure and reliable EDI file transfer on z/OS. The main components include the Communication Manager, the Translation Engine, and the Security Module. 25, ISDN, and TCP/IP protocols.

It manages connections, handles data transmission, and provides error handling. The Translation Engine converts data between various formats, such as EDIFACT and ANSI X12. It uses mapping rules defined in configuration files.

The Security Module provides authentication, authorization, and encryption. It supports various encryption algorithms and key management. Communication between components occurs through internal z/OS mechanisms, such as program calls and data queues.

Data storage utilizes VSAM files for partner profiles, transaction logs, and configuration data. Network requirements include configured ports for the selected communication protocols. The system's design emphasizes security, scalability, and integration with the z/OS environment.

The `CREATE PARTNER` command is used to define partner profiles, including communication settings and security parameters. The `SEND` and `RECEIVE` commands are central to file transfer operations. The `STATUS` command provides real-time information on transfer status and system health.
