IBM Version 4 manual National Language Support APIs, Network Management APIs, Data

National Language Support APIs

These APIs provide the capability to retrieve cultural values, to co sequence to different CCSIDs, to convert and truncate character stri work with data that uses CCSIDs.

National Language Support APIs

This set of APIs gives you the capability to work with language ID tables, and single- or double-byte character string data. The sort A using a national language sorting sequence.

This set also includes an API that converts all characters to either lowercase.

National Language		Data	Conversion	APIs
This	set of	APIs	provides	the capability to convert character data
to	another.

Character Data Representation Architecture (CDRA) APIs

These APIs are part of the Character Data Representation Architectu access to the system CCSID support.

Network Management APIs

Network		management			APIs	give you	the capability	to manage one or more
from another				node. The		network	management section	consists of the follow
groups		of	APIs:
Ÿ	Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) topology
Ÿ	SNA/Management			Services		Transport
Ÿ	Alert
Ÿ	Node list
Ÿ	Registered filter
Ÿ	Change		request		management

Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking			(APPN)	Topology		Information
APIs
APPN	topology	information APIs allow			an	application	to obtain	information a
the	current	APPN topology,	and	to	register and		deregister	for informa

ongoing updates to the topology. The specific types of topology upda

application may register to					receiver follow:
Ÿ	Network	network	node	(*NN)	updates
Ÿ	Network	virtual	node	(*VN)	updates
Ÿ	Local	end node	(*EN)	updates

ŸLocal virtual node (*VN) updates

APPN network topology identifies the following in an APPN subnetworkAPPN . (An

subnetwork consists of nodes having a common network ID and the links necting those nodes.)

Ÿ All network nodes and virtual nodes in the subnetwork

ŸTransmission groups interconnecting network nodes and virtual nodes in

subnetwork
Ÿ Transmission	groups from network nodes in	the	subnetwork	to network no
in adjacent	subnetworks
