i5/OS (5722-SS1): Operating system licensed products 579

Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPOpS.fm

server to another over a standard communications connection. Systems can be

connected via standard APPC (using APPN), TCP/IP communications lines

(using AnyNet®), local area network (LAN), or an high-speed link (HSL)

OptiConnect loop (fiber or copper). The economy of not requiring intermediate

save file procedures and copies to distribution queues saves DASD and

improves performance in a manner that is nondisruptive to system operations.

OptiConnect for iSeries (5722-SS1 Option 23)

OptiConnect for iSeries provides high-speed transparent access to data through

SPD fiber optic bus connections or HSL fiber optic and copper bus connections.

It also includes performance enhancements to iSeries Distributed Data

Management (DDM).

The mechanism used by OptiConnect for iSeries to access database files on

connected systems is modeled after DDM. Just as DDM uses a DDM file and

APPC communications to redirect file access operations, OptiConnect for iSeries

uses DDM files and a specialized transport service to redirect file access

operations to a target system.

Using OptiConnect for iSeries among systems sharing the same bus (connected

with SPD fiber or HSL fiber/copper cables only) can achieve transport

efficiencies not possible with more general purpose, wide-area communications

protocols.
