The following OpenTP1 program product enables UAPs on workstations or PCs to act as clients and request services from OpenTP1 server systems:

TP1/Client

Enables UAPs on PCs or workstations to request and receive services from OpenTP1 server UAPs. The UAP of TP1/Client/W and TP1/Client/P are called CUP.

TP1/Client UAPs (CUPs) can communicate with OpenTP1 server UAPs (SPPs). TP1/Client actually contains four products:

• TP1/Client/W for workstations
• TP1/Client/P for PCs
• TP1/Client/J for Java-operating environments
• These products enable a system manager to select client hardware and the OS (a workstation or PC) according to the expected performance, number of connections, and the OS required for the client.

Figure 2-2 provides an overview of the communication processing that can be performed with the OpenTP1 client facility.
