Re: APPC connection to application on the SAME host?

David.

There is a parm on the CRTCTLAPPC that allows for *LOCAL(read the help for details)

you would define two APPC devices that "point" to each other.

CRTCTLAPPC CTLD(LOCALAPPC) LINKTYPE(*LOCAL)
CRTDEVAPPC DEVD(HERE) RMTLOCNAME(THERE) LCLLOCNAME(HERE) CTL(LOCALAPPC) APPN(*NO)
CRTDEVAPPC DEVD(THERE) RMTLOCNAME(HERE) LCLLOCNAME(THERE) CTL(LOCALAPPC) APPN(*NO)

vary on and test...
STRPASTHR RMTLOCNAME(THERE) LCLLOCNAME(HERE)

I have an existing application that supports APPC communication between instances of itself on separate hosts. Assuming that I define things appropriately, is it possible to use APPC between applications on the SAME host? If so, how do I define that? I've been slogging through manuals, and I am still very confused.

If I specify the local host name as the remote host name, is APPC smart enough to short-circuit the connection to the application on the same host without needing to go out on the wire?

If anyone has suggestions for where to look, or (please, please) maybe an example of app A talking to app B on the same host, I'd be VERY grateful. Your choice of cookies or beer. Really.
