Generation properties of the Link3270 Bridge invoke type

This topic describes the generation properties of the Link3270 Bridge invoke type.
Important: A Link3270 Bridge invoke node can validly occur only within a Link3270 Bridge flow node (see About flow types).
Important: In some instances, modelled applications might fail to return data required by the service flow project tools, which can cause errors (see Special handling for certain types of Link3270 Bridge applications).
Note: For the use of BMS maps with Link3270 Bridge see Working with information from BMS maps.

The Link3270 Bridge invoke type causes the specified screen operation to communicate with the terminal application using the Link3270 Bridge interface. (Link3270 Bridge is a programming interface that allows a CICS® client to communicate with 3270-based CICS transactions.)

For more information about these generation properties see the CICS Service Flow Runtime User's Guide (see Supported runtime environments for each project type).

Table 1. Generation properties of the Link3270 Bridge invoke type
NAME DESCRIPTION VALUE RANGE DEFAULT VALUE
Invoke Type Type of Invoke node Link3270 Bridge Link3270 Bridge
Activity Name Name of the activity performed by the node.
Note: When the runtime code is generated for the CICS Service Flow Runtime environment, the runtime code generator uses the information in this node to create a CICS Business Transaction Services (BTS) activity. The name that you specify here is used as the name of the new BTS activity.
String value: 1-32 characters Node ID
Comment Optional text associated with the individual node N/A N/A
