PC Workmate

The core components of PC Workmate include the Windows client, the web server, and the Data Transfer Module. The Windows client is the primary interface for users, providing configuration options for report routing, email settings, and host connections. The web server, typically an IIS instance, hosts the web interface for report viewing.

The Data Transfer Module handles the transfer of data from distributed systems to CICS Temporary Storage Queues, using protocols compatible with CICS.

The system uses Powertools Plus/VSE on the host for report processing and data transfer.

The system does not expose a direct API, but interacts with the host environment through the Powertools Plus/VSE interface. , port 80 or 443) and the necessary ports for communication with the z/VSE host.
