OptiConnect software capabilities

 

OptiConnect software supports several functions.

• Distributed data management (DDM)

  All DDM operations for supported object types can run across OptiConnect, including data files, data areas, and data queues.

• Distributed Relational Database Architecture™ (DRDA^®)

  OptiConnect supports Structured Query Language (SQL) applications by using the relational database directory to control access to databases on remote systems.

• DB2^® Multisystem

  DB2 Multisystem with its DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries™ support for multinode files can run across OptiConnect, providing data warehouse functions of IBM^® Query for iSeries and two-phase commit.

• ObjectConnect

  ObjectConnect can operate over OptiConnect to provide high-speed, system-to-system save and restore functions.

• Standard Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) conversations

  Standard APPC conversations are available over OptiConnect with an OptiConnect communication controller.

• Systems Network Architecture distribution services (SNADS)

  SNADS, display station pass-through, network printer pass-through, and other functions can run across OptiConnect.

• Socket support

  This function allows applications that use TCP/IP to communicate over OptiConnect when they are running in a System i™ multiple-node network with HSL OptiConnect, Virtual OptiConnect, or SPD OptiConnect.

• Products that provide efficient database mirroring for OptiConnect networks

  These products are available from IBM Business Partners.
