SmartMail/VSE

The SmartMail/VSE architecture comprises several key components: the Mail Server, Calendar Server, CICS Interface, and Database Interface. The Mail Server handles email processing, including sending, receiving, and storing messages. The Calendar Server manages calendar entries, appointments, and scheduling functions.

The CICS Interface provides the connection to CICS transactions, enabling integration with other CICS applications. The Database Interface handles interactions with VSAM files for data storage. Communication between components occurs through CICS transactions and internal interfaces.

Data storage relies on VSAM files, which store email messages, calendar entries, and user profiles. The system uses SMTP for email transmission and SSL/TLS for secure communication. Authentication is handled through CICS user IDs and passwords.

Administrative tasks are performed through CICS transactions and configuration files. Monitoring is achieved through CICS transaction statistics and system logs. The system's design prioritizes integration with CICS and efficient use of zVSE/VSEn resources.
