<h2 id="howwrk">How OptiConnect works</h2>
|
|
<p>The OptiConnect network connects multiple unique servers or partitions,
|
|
using one of the three high-speed internal bus technologies available on the iSeries™ servers. The mechanism used by OptiConnect software to access database
|
|
files on another server is modeled after the mechanism used by Distributed
|
|
Data Management (DDM). DDM uses a DDM file and advanced program-to-program
|
|
communications (APPC) to redirect file access operations to another server.
|
|
Similarly, OptiConnect uses DDM files and a special transport service to redirect
|
|
file access operations to another server in an OptiConnect network. Thus,
|
|
OptiConnect can achieve transport efficiencies that are not possible with
|
|
a more general purpose, wide-area communications protocol.</p>
|
|
<p>Two things differentiate OptiConnect from traditional communications based
|
|
distributed operations. The first is a high-speed connection mechanism that
|
|
takes advantage of the I/O bus or memory bus structure to connect multiple
|
|
servers or partitions. The second is a device driver that is embedded in the
|
|
operating system. This device driver streamlines the application access to
|
|
data on a remote server. Once OptiConnect establishes server connections,
|
|
much of the APPC protocol stack is bypassed. The OptiConnect fast-path connection
|
|
for database transactions provides DDM access to databases anywhere in the
|
|
OptiConnect network at a fraction of the standard communications code path.
|
|
Data warehouse, Distributed Relational
|
|
Database Architecture™ (DRDA®), and data propagation functions (such
|
|
as journaling) can use this technology.</p>
