OpenTP1 Version 7 Programming Guide
This subsection explains communication paradigms available with the XATMI interface.
XATMI-interfaced communication uses TCP/IP as the communication protocol. Also, even if OSI TP is in use as the communication protocol, the XATMI interface can be used. For the relationship between communication protocols and XATMI interface functions, see 5.1.2 XATMI interface functions.
OSI TP communication requires the TP1/NET/OSI-TP-Extended in the OpenTP1 system.
The XATMI interface provides the following communication paradigms:
To request a service, use a function whose argument specifies a name (service name) that identifies a service function in the server UAP.
When XATMI-interfaced communication is in use, structures in C or records in COBOL can be transmitted and received. This means that a chunk of data of some size can be sent with a single service request. Such a chunk of data is referred to as a typed buffer in C or a typed record in COBOL. For typed data used in communication, see 5.1.6 Communication data types.
