The XAPI Client Interface to an ACSLS Server
The XML API (XAPI) is an API that enables StorageTek clients and servers to communicate using a common protocol over TCP/IP. ACSLS 8.4 and later releases can be configured with XAPI support.
Clients who were required to use an MVS based server (HSC for real tape and/or VTCS for virtual tape) can now use ACSLS to manage StorageTek libraries.
Refer to the StorageTek Enterprise Library Software XAPI Client Interface to ACSLS Server document in the ELS documentation set for details about XAPI and XCMD configuration, administration, and operator commands and the supported XAPI user requests and ACSLS XAPI control variables.
