DB2 Multisystem with its DB2 UDB for iSeries™ support for multi-node files will run across OptiConnect, providing data warehouse functions of IBM® Query for iSeries support and two-phase commit.
ObjectConnect will operate over OptiConnect to provide high-speed, server-to-server Save/Restore. For more information, see the Backup and Recovery topic.
Standard APPC Conversations are available over OptiConnect with an OptiConnect communication controller. For more information, see the APPC Programming book.
This allows for SNADS, display station pass-through, network printer pass-through, and other functions across OptiConnect. See the SNA Distribution Services book for more information.
