<strong>CICS</strong> for AIX offers a choice of two methods for using SNA: local SNA and the<br />
Encina PPC Gateway. Both methods support all of the <strong>CICS</strong> intercommunication<br />
facilities.<br />
3.3.3.1 Local SNA<br />
This method provides the fastest connectivity. A <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region can<br />
communicate <strong>with</strong> every other member of the <strong>CICS</strong> family through this method.<br />
Use of local SNA requires that an appropriate SNA product, such as AIX SNA<br />
<strong>Server</strong> for AIX, be installed on the same machine as the <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region.<br />
Synchronization levels 0 and 1 are supported.<br />
Figure 10 shows <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX using local SNA support to communicate <strong>with</strong><br />
other <strong>CICS</strong> systems and other APPC applications.<br />

Encina PPC Gateway: With this method <strong>CICS</strong> communicates <strong>with</strong> the Encina<br />
PPC Gateway through TCP/IP, and the Encina PPC Gateway provides a link to<br />
the SNA network. <strong>The</strong> Encina PPC Gateway can be in the same machine as the<br />
<strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region or in a different machine. If DCE CDS is in use, the Encina<br />
PPC Gateway and the <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX should be in the same DCE cell. Figure 11<br />
