Distributed transaction processing (DTP)

The main advantage of DTP is that it allows the two transactions to have exclusive control of a session and to "converse". DTP is particularly useful when you need remote resources to be processed remotely or if you need to transfer data between systems. It also allows you to design very flexible and efficient applications. DTP can be used with either EXEC CICS® or CPI Communications. You can use C, C++, and assembler language in DTP application programs that hold LU type 6.2 unmapped conversations using the EXEC CICS API as well as applications that use the CICS intercommunication facilities.

DTP can be used with a variety of partners, including both CICS and non-CICS platforms, as long as they support APPC. For further information about DTP, see the CICS Distributed Transaction Programming Guide and CICS Family: Interproduct Communication manuals.
