The Oracle Procedural Gateway for APPC allows any environment that can
call PL/SQL stored procedures to call any APPC transaction. For example;
An Oracle stored procedure can call a CICS transaction. The PG4APPC currently
runs on an RS/6000 or HP/9000. It will be available shortly on Solaris 2.x.
In terms of cross platform development your clients can run on any platform. Your clients connect to an Oracle database and request the execution of stored procedures. Those stored procedures call the PG4APPC. As far as the client is concerned it is only calling Oracle stored procedures. The PG4APPC handles all of the mapping between the Oracle PL/SQL environment and the APPC/LU6.2 environment. As such you need no Oracle code on your target host environment.
