Windows x64 Platform Support

Personal Communications provides non-SNA platform support for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 x64 Edition and Windows Server 2008/2012 Standard x64 Edition and Enterprise x64 Edition.

Using SNA in an x64 environment requires configuring Personal Communications with IBM Remote API Client. Personal Communications now packages IBM Remote API Client under admin\ibm_rapic in the Docs_Admin_Aids package.

The x64-based versions of Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008/2012 and Microsoft® Windows® 7/8/8.1/10 x64 Edition are optimized to run native 64-bit programs, but do not support 32-bit drivers or 16-bit applications.

For these platforms, Personal Communications does not install the following features and libraries.
  • IBM SNA protocols
  • DOS EHLLAPI
  • 16-bit API support:
    • Standard EHLLAPI 16-bit interface
    • WinHLLAPI 16-bit interface
    • PCSAPI 16-bit interface
    • SRPI 16-bit interface
