Enabling Client/Server Applications

Personal Communications support for APPN® end nodes lets you take advantage of APPN® networks. An APPN® network allows automatic locating of partner applications and dynamic, optimized route selection. These features allow workstations to communicate more flexibly with other systems in the network.

Personal Communications also provides support for 32-bit APPC and CPI-C application programming interfaces (APIs), which provide convenient ways for 32-bit client application programs on your workstation to communicate with those on other workstations.
