Terminals for transaction routing
Transaction routing enables terminals in one CICS® system to start transactions in another CICS system.
In these topics, the word “system” is used to indicate a CICS system communicating with other systems using IPIC, MRO, or ISC. You can use transaction routing between systems connected by IPIC, MRO, or by an APPC link. See CICS transaction routing for more information.
You can define a terminal for use in transaction routing as one
of the following types:
- A local terminal
- A remote terminal
- A dual-purpose terminal
The type of terminal that you define depends on how the definition
is made available to the application-owning CICS system (AOR). You
can make the definition available using one of the following methods:
- Duplicating terminal definitions
- Sharing terminal definitions
- Shipping terminal definitions
