Use this task when you want to use the optimized local adapters native APIs to connect an external address space to WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® and invoke an Enterprise JavaBeans® (EJB) application that is deployed on the application server.
Use this task when you want to use the Invoke API to call a stateless session bean from an external address space that is in an application that is deployed on a locally attached WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS®.
Use this task when you call an Enterprise JavaBeans® (EJB) application that is deployed on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS from an external address space within a client-initiated transaction. The Customer Information Control System (CICS®) environment is the only environment where transactional support is supported.
Use this task when you want to call an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) application that is deployed on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS from an external address space while ignoring the client transaction context. The only environment where transactional semantics are supported is Customer Information Control System (CICS).
Use this task when you want to use the outbound APIs to connect to an application in an external address space from an application that is deployed on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
Use this task to create an interaction between the outbound APIs and the external address space or subsystem.
WebSphere Application Server on z/OS optimized local adapters are supported by a set of z/OS native language callable services, or application programming interfaces (APIs), and the Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA).
With WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0.0.1, the amount of optimized local adapters code that needs to be loaded in the external client address space on behalf of the optimized local adapters APIs is reduced significantly.
