Communications

The APA platform has built-in support for both local and remote (z/OS) repositories. The local repository is populated and refreshed automatically with the most recent transaction data, with the exception of the observation reports. Reports are downloaded on-request. Select 'Download Reports' from the Observation List menu or click the 'Download Reports' button on the Reports View.

When launched, APA automatically loads and displays the local repository of the Startup APA started task (STC). The remote repository is accessed via TCP/IP communications between the APA and z/OS. An APA Listener or PD Tools APA Server started task must be installed and active on z/OS.
