OptiConnect APIs
The OptiConnect APIs are used to move user data between two or more servers
that are connected by the OptiConnect fiber-optic bus. The OptiConnect APIs
require that the OptiConnect hardware and software products have been installed
on all of the systems that will be used for communications. A maximum of 32KB
(where KB equals 1024 bytes) of data may be transferred in a single send or
receive function.
Note: To use these APIs, you need the OptiConnect for
i5/OS(R) feature.
The OptiConnect APIs are:
- Close Path (QzdmClosePath) closes an OptiConnect path.
- Close Stream (QzdmCloseStream) closes an OptiConnect stream.
- Open Path (QzdmOpenPath) opens an OptiConnect path.
- Open Stream (QzdmOpenStream) opens an OptiConnect stream.
- Receive Control (QzdmReceiveControl) receives a control message on an OptiConnect stream.
- Receive Request (QzdmReceiveRequest) receives a request or a message over an OptiConnect path.
- Receive Response (QzdmReceiveResponse) receives an acknowledgement and the response data over an OptiConnect path.
- Send Request (QzdmSendRequest) sends a request or a message over an OptiConnect path.
- Send Response (QzdmSendResponse) sends an acknowledgement and the response data over an OptiConnect path.
- Wait Message (QzdmWaitMessage) waits for a message on an OptiConnect stream.
