Configuring and administrating APIs

Considerations for designing an application
When you design an application, you must have a broad understanding of many aspects of the API.
Understanding interoperability
The API has two types of interoperability: between the backup-archive client and API applications and between different operating systems.
Using the API with Unicode
The IBM® Storage Protect API supports Unicode UCS2, a fixed length, double-byte code page that has code points for all known code pages, such as Japanese, Chinese, or German. It supports as many as 65,535 unique code points.
