Appc Introduction to Lu6.2 (McGraw Hill Communications Series)

An essential reference for network and communication specialists, system and application designers and programmers, DBAs and MIS/DP managers, this work covers the structure, components, and implementation of LU6.2 to connect mainframes, mid-range, and microcomputers. LU6.2 describes what they must know to understand and operate the most advanced system ever developed for cooperative processing, distributed transaction processing (including distributed data base access like DB2/V2R2), and system-to-system and application-to-application communications. Included is information on Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) as the foundation to APPC LU6.2, and how LU6.2 interfaces with CICS and CICS/VS, Systems Application Architecture (SAA), and Systems Network Architecture (SNA).
