Abstract:
1. In a system wherein a transaction gateway daemon of a specified type is connected between a first server and a spatially separated second server, in order to integrate applications running on the first server with operation of the second server, a method for determining whether a detected address space is or is not a transaction gateway daemon of the specified type, wherein said method comprises the steps of: verifying at a software tool in a monitor associated with the transaction gateway daemon, that said detected address space is an Open multiple virtual storage (MVS) type of address space, wherein an instruction of the software tool is executed by a processor; carrying out at the software tool, a first set of tests pertaining to specified further characteristics of said detected address space, wherein an address space is one of (i) a transaction gateway, and (ii) a transaction gateway daemon; verifying at the software tool, that a program of said detected address space is running in a Language Environment; and carrying out at the software tool, a second set of tests that are respectively associated with dubbing a task of said detected address space to Open MVS, wherein dubbing the task makes the task appear similar to a task of Open MVS task control block (OTCB), wherein a task control block is a structure configured to pass data between address spaces.
