Re: APPC connection to application on the SAME host?

It's years (actually decades) since I've done any APPC, but isn't an INTRA device the way to go here?

CRTDEVINTR help text says:

The Create Device Description (Intrasystem) (CRTDEVINTR) command creates an intrasystem (INTRA) device which allows two programs to
communicate with each other within the same system as though communicating across a transmission protocol (TP) line.

Hope this helps.

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.
