Use remote database directory to use the database on another
LPAR. This
is DRDA under the covers. You can also connect to DB2 on your
mainframe
from your i. When using LPARs, the "ethernet" (or SDLC if you
prefer) is
through the system backplane, so it is very fast.

Ah. Thanks. I think that I have a "conceptual problem". So, everything
on the i is contained in a DB2 database, correct? Therefore it can be
shared via "remote database directory" aka DRDA. I'm not used to
thinking of programs as being stored in a database. Another conceptual
hurdle to get over.

The "backplane ethernet" sounds very similar to the z series
"hipersocket".
