The OptiConnect APIs are used to move user data between two or more systems
that are connected by the OptiConnect fiber-optic bus. The OptiConnect APIs
require that the OptiConnect hardware and software products have been installed
on all of the systems that will be used for communications. A maximum of 32 KB
(where KB equals 1024 bytes) of data can be transferred in a single send or
receive function.
Note: To use these APIs, you need the OptiConnect for
IBM® i feature.
The OptiConnect APIs are:
Close Path (QzdmClosePath) closes an OptiConnect path.
Close Stream (QzdmCloseStream) closes an OptiConnect stream.
Open Path (QzdmOpenPath) opens an OptiConnect path.
Open Stream (QzdmOpenStream) opens an OptiConnect stream.
Receive Control (QzdmReceiveControl) receives a control message on an OptiConnect stream.
Receive Request (QzdmReceiveRequest) receives a request or a message over an OptiConnect path.
Receive Response (QzdmReceiveResponse) receives an acknowledgement and the response data over an OptiConnect path.
Send Request (QzdmSendRequest) sends a request or a message over an OptiConnect path.
Send Response (QzdmSendResponse) sends an acknowledgement and the response data over an OptiConnect path.
Wait Message (QzdmWaitMessage) waits for a message on an OptiConnect stream.
