Function shipping
You code a program to access resources in a remote system in much the same way as if they were on the local system.
You can use:
- DL/I calls (EXEC DLI commands)
- to access data associated with a remote CICS® system.
- File control commands
- to access files on remote systems. Note that requests which contain the TOKEN keyword cannot be function-shipped.
- Temporary storage commands
- to access data from temporary storage queues on remote systems.
- Transient data commands
- to access transient data queues on remote systems.
Three additional exception conditions can occur with remote resources. They occur if the remote system is unavailable (SYSIDERR), if a request is invalid (ISCINVREQ), or if the mirror transaction abends (AIPM abend for IPIC, ATNI for ISC connections, and AZI6 for MRO).
