Hi Julie,

CLIOS is a protocol like TCPIP that you can use to communicate between
MVS and AIX. It stands for CLient Input Output Sockets (I think!).
In a nutshell it is a faster protocol than TCP/IP...
You have to specifically set up ADSM on MVS and your AIX machine to
take advantage of CLIOS - in other words it does not get set up by default.
Hope this helps.
