A predefined IPCONN provides a more secure environment and can prevent unwanted IPCONN autoinstall requests from succeeding. To configure a secure predefined IPCONN for your IPIC connection between CICS® TG and CICS TS, follow the instructions in this scenario.
This scenario uses CICS TG connecting to CICS TS V3.2 over IPIC in remote mode. It uses the default name ctg.ini for the configuration file.
