Before you begin
You must install
WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Fix Pack 4 or Fix
Pack 12 before you can use the optimized local adapters.

About this task
You can use optimized local adapters to make inbound calls
from an external address space to EJB applications that are deployed
on a local
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS server, as well as make outbound
calls from an application running under
WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS to a server program
that is running in an external address space. The following steps
describe the process required to call an EJB application that is deployed
on a local
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS server using the optimized
local adapters application programming interfaces (APIs).
The following
illustration shows the flow when using optimized local adapters with
Customer Information Control System (CICS®).
The
next illustration is the flow when using optimized local adapters
with Information Management System (IMS).
