|
|
<p>Advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) is data communications
|
|
support that allows programs on an iSeries™ server to communicate with programs
|
|
on other systems having compatible communications support. APPC on the iSeries system provides
|
|
an application programming interface to the Systems Network Architecture (SNA)
|
|
logical unit (LU) type 6.2 and node type 2.1 architectures.</p>
|
|
<p>The APPC support handles all of the SNA protocol requirements when your
|
|
system is communicating with a remote system that uses the LU type 6.2 and
|
|
node type 2.1 architectures. You can connect your system to any other system
|
|
that supports the APPC program interface. APPC application programs can also
|
|
communicate over lines using the Internet Protocol (IP) of Transmission Control
|
|
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).</p>
|
|
<p>The iSeries APPC support handles the protocol needed for communicating between
|
|
an application program that runs on your iSeries system, and an application that runs
|
|
on a remote system. The protocol consists of a set of verbs that are common
|
|
to the local and remote systems in a network. However, the way in which each
|
|
system provides a program interface to the verbs may differ.</p>
|
|
<p>The iSeries system provides the following program interfaces: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The intersystem communications function (ICF) file interface. In ICF,
|
|
the LU 6.2 verbs are carried out by using data description specifications
|
|
(DDS) keywords and system-supplied formats.</li>
|
|
<li>The Common Programming Interface (CPI) Communications call interface.
|
|
Using CPI Communication calls carries the LU 6.2 verbs.</li>
|
|
<li>The CICS® file interface. In CICS/400® support, the LU 6.2 verbs are carried
|
|
out by using EXEC CICS commands.</li>
|
|
<li>The sockets application programming interface (API). For the sockets API,
|
|
the LU 6.2 verbs are carried out by using the socket functions.</li></ul>
|
|
<p>The APPC support also handles networking functions, and allows peer systems
|
|
in a network to start and end sessions without a controlling host system.</p>
|
|
<p>The iSeries Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking® (APPN) support
|
|
is an enhancement to the node type 2.1 architecture. APPN provides additional
|
|
networking functions such as searching distributed directories, dynamically
|
|
selecting routes, routing of intermediate sessions, creating and starting
|
|
remote locations, and routing data by using transmission priorities.</p>
|
|
<p>Built on APPN, high-performance routing (HPR) is an enhancement to APPN
|
|
that enables improved availability and persistence during network outages.</p>
