Administering optimized local adapters on Liberty for z/OS

Enable optimized local adapters and register an external address space with a local Liberty server.

Enabling the Liberty server environment to use optimized local adapters
You must enable the Liberty server to receive inbound and outbound requests by using the optimized local adapters support. WebSphere® optimized local adapters (WOLA) for z/OS® are a set of callable services (APIs) that give native z/OS applications the ability to make inbound calls to application server enterprise beans and enable native programs to act as a server and accept requests from applications that run in the Liberty server.
Enabling support for Liberty optimized local adapters in CICS
You must enable your Customer Information Control System (CICS®) environment to receive inbound and outbound requests using WebSphere optimized local adapters (WOLA).
Enabling support for Liberty optimized local adapters in IMS
You must enable your IMS environment to receive inbound requests when you use WebSphere optimized local adapters (WOLA).
Registering an external address space with a local Liberty server using optimized local adapters
For WebSphere optimized local adapters (WOLA) to make an outbound call to your local optimized local adapter group or an inbound call to a Liberty server, you must bind the current address space to the Liberty server and establish connection attributes using the Register API.
