Transaction routing

Transaction routing allows terminals that are connected to one CICS® region, to run with transactions that are in another connected CICS region. This means that you can distribute terminals and transactions among your CICS regions and still have the ability to run any transaction with any terminal.

In transaction routing, the two regions that are involved are referred to as:

The terminal-owning region

The CICS system on which the terminal is locally defined.

The application-owning region

The CICS system on which the application is locally defined.
