Transient data

Function shipping allows you to access intrapartition or extrapartition transient data queues that are on remote regions. You can define remote transient data queues in the Transient Data Definitions (TDD). You can, however, use the SYSID option on the EXEC CICS® WRITEQ TD, EXEC CICS READQ TD, and EXEC CICS DELETEQ TD commands, to specify the region on which the request is to run.

If the remote transient data queue has fixed length records, you must supply the record length in the LENGTH option:
  • If you do not specify the record length in the TDD entry for the transient data queue
  • If you use the SYSID option
