Enabling the Liberty server environment to use optimized local adapters
You must enable the Liberty server to receive inbound and outbound requests by using the optimized local adapters support. WebSphere® optimized local adapters (WOLA) for z/OS® are a set of callable services (APIs) that give native z/OS applications the ability to make inbound calls to application server enterprise beans and enable native programs to act as a server and accept requests from applications that run in the Liberty server.
Before you begin
Install the zosLocalAdapters-1.0 feature in your Liberty environment. For more information, see Installing Liberty Repository assets.

What to do next
- Ensure that the load module library is at the latest level.
- Ensure that the library is made available to all of the external address spaces that use the optimized local adapters. For example, ensure that the library is available in the STEPLIB for batch jobs, or in the DFHRPL concatenation for Customer Information Control System (CICS®).
If you want to use the optimized local adapters with CICS, you must enable support for the adapters in CICS. For more information, see Enabling support for Liberty optimized local adapters in CICS.
If you want to use the optimized local adapters with IMS™, you must enable support for the adapters in IMS. For more information, see Enabling support for Liberty optimized local adapters in IMS.
If you want to create a connection, begin by registering the external address space to the Liberty server. For more information, see Registering an external address space with a local Liberty server using optimized local adapters.
