ITP DataManager

The ITP DataManager is the component of ITP that performs the communication between the ITP client software and the host software. Depending on the connection type the host software could be on a different machine, e.g. in case of the AS/400 Connection or Mainframe Connection or on the same machine, e.g. in case of the Local Connection or ODBC Connection.

The Connection Types are implemented in the ITP DataManager. Every time that communication is required in a Model, the required information is sent to the ITP DataManager. The ITP Data Manager takes care of all communication involved in executing Data Retrieval, Key Retrieval and DID Defined Functions and receiving the results. The ITP environment only communicates to external databases through the DataManager.
