This chapter provides a summary of the most important generation notes for applications with distributed processing and describes how the UTM generation is coordinated with the generation of the transport system.
The term distributed processing is used to describe server-server communication using the LU6.1 and OSI TP protocols. These protocols are used to implement global transaction processing. The OSI TP protocol also makes it possible to communicate with OpenCPIC clients and LU6.2 applications. OpenCPIC clients are generated in the same way as OSI TP partners, see chapter "Generation procedure for distributed processing based on OSI TP". Specific hints for the generation of OpenCPIC clients can be found in section "Connecting OpenCPIC clients". More information about connecting to a LU6.2 application can be found in the openUTM manual “Distributed Transaction Processing between openUTM and CICS, IMS and LU6.2 Applications”.
 | The basic principles of distributed processing are introduced in the openUTM manual “Concepts und Functions”. |
To generate applications with distributed processing, you must first ensure that the individual applications have been generated without errors, and that the generation data of all applications involved has been coordinated. Since the KDCDEF generation tool can only check the generation data of a single application for consistency and syntactic accuracy, conflicts generally cannot be identified until the applications begin to interact with each other, e.g. during connection setup.
| You will find notes on generation when standalone UTM applications are to be linked to UTM cluster applications on Unix, Linux or Windows systems in the sections "LU6.1-LPAP bundles of a standalone application with a UTM cluster application" and "OSI-LPAP bundles". |
