HP DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64, Version 8.3 SPD 50.45.19
The OSAK API also includes support for the OSI Pre-
sentation layer with support for the following OSI stan-
dards:
• ISO 8823: Information Processing Systems, Open
Systems Interconnection, Connection-Oriented Pre-
sentation Protocol Specification
• ISO 8822: Information Processing Systems, Open
Systems Interconnection, Connection-Oriented Pre-
sentation Service Definition
• ISO 8327: Information Processing Systems, Open
Systems Interconnection, Basic Connection-Oriented
Session Protocol Specification
• ISO 8326: Information Processing Systems, Open
Systems Interconnection, Basic Connection-Oriented
Session Service Definition
The Presentation layer services supported by the OSAK
API are:
Alter-Context
Data
Capability-Data
Expedited-Data
Typed-Data
Token-Please
Token-Give
Control-Give
Sync-Major
Sync-Minor
Resynchronize

The OSAK API also supports (by pass through) the OSI
Session layer services.
Session Layer API
The Session layer API, called the OSAK Session Pro-
gramming Interface (SPI), supports the following OSI
standards:
• ISO 8327: Information Processing Systems, Open
Systems Interconnection, Basic Connection Oriented
Session Protocol Specification
• ISO 8326: Information Processing Systems, Open
Systems Interconnection, Basic Connection Oriented
Session Service Definition.
The Session layer supports ISO Session version 1 and
version 2. Session version 1 allows up to 512 octets of
user data on a service. Session version 2 supports the
restrictions imposed by the National Institute of Stan-
dards and Technology allowing up to 10,240 octets of
data on a service.
HP DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Version 7.3 includes
Version 3.0 of the OSAK SPI. Users of the OSAK SPI
Version 1.1 should upgrade to Version 3.0.
The OSAK API provides the interface to the following
connect and release services:
Connect
Release
Abort
Redirect
The redirect service is not a Session service. The ser-
vice allows applications to redirect an incoming connec-
tion to another process on the local system.
The Session layer services supported by the OSAK API
are:
Data
Capability-Data
Expedited-Data
Typed-Data
Token-Please
Token-Give
Control-Give
Sync-Major
Sync-Minor
Resynchronize
Exception-Report
Activity-Start
Activity-Interrupt
Activity-Resume
Activity-Discard
Activity-End
ROSE API
The Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) sup-
ports the OSI standard ISO 9072: Information Process-
ing Systems, Text Communication, and Remote Opera-
tions.
ROSE supports interactive applications in a distributed
open systems environment. It is a service for multiven-
dor distributed processing.
The ROSE functionality provides a mechanism that al-
lows for encoding and decoding the remote operations
protocol control information, as defined in ISO 9072, for
the following services:
Invoke
Result
Error
