APPC Concepts

Personal Communications provides Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking® (APPN®) end node support for workstations, allowing them to communicate more flexibly with other systems in the network.

Personal Communications provides advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) to support communications between distributed processing programs, called transaction programs (TPs). APPN® extends this capability to a networking environment. The TPs can be located at any node in the network that provides APPC.
