In LU 6.2, a TPF Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (TPF/APPC) conversation that remains allocated and active past the completion of the transaction. The TPF/APPC conversation parameters between TPF Application Requester (TPFAR) and the DB2 system are saved in an entry in the hotcon table (HCT). When another entry control block (ECB) requests a conversation with the same remote application server, TPFAR reuses the active conversation.
In Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), a TCP/IP connection that remains active past the completion of the transaction. The socket descriptors are saved in an entry in the hotcon table (HCT). When another entry control block (ECB) requests a connection with the same remote application server, TPF Application Requester (TPFAR) reuses the active connection.
