This feature, consisting of the loosely coupled facility and the multiple database function (MDBF), allows the TPF 4.1 system to run in a loosely coupled configuration where each central processing complex (CPC) can share a common database. The HPO feature provides two distinct subfunctions:
The Multi-Processor Interconnect Facility (MPIF) feature is required for this feature.
See TPF Main Supervisor Reference for more information about the HPO feature.
This feature provides an interface that permits TPF CPCs to communicate with each other at a very high speed.
See TPF Multi-Processor Interconnect Facility Reference for more information about the MPIF feature.
This feature allows TPF application programs to read and write data directly to IBM DATABASE 2 (DB2) Version 2 Release 3 or later release. The TPFAR feature supports the IBM Systems Application Architecture (SAA) strategy for database distribution using the remote unit of work method of distributed access. The TPFAR feature implements the requester portion of the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA), allowing TPF application programmers to send static Structure Query Language (SQL) requests to a remote DB2.
See the TPF Application Requester User's Guide for more information about the TPFAR feature.
