Oracle APPC/LU6.2 Protocol Adapter
The Oracle APPC/LU6.2 Protocol Adapter is available on networks that use LU6.2 services for communication between Oracle programs. For example, APPC/LU6.2 allows TNS applications to use API as a standard interface.
Figure 9 - 6 shows the communication layers between Oracle programs using the LU6.2 communications services and the Oracle APPC/LU6.2 Protocol Adapter:
