Duplicating terminal definitions

You can create a separate terminal definition for each region involved, each on a CSD file that is accessible to that region.

One is created as a local definition and one or more are created as remote definitions. This is referred to as duplicating terminal definitions, because there is more than one resource definition for the same terminal (the definitions are not necessarily exact duplicates of each other).

To duplicate terminal definitions:
  1. Create a local definition for the terminal, in the CSD file of the terminal-owning region, or on a shared CSD file.
  2. Create a remote definition for the terminal, in the CSD file of the application-owning region, or in a shared CSD file. If you have more than one application-owning region, you may need more than one remote definition, but if the regions are sharing a CSD file, you may be able to use the same remote definition for them all.
  3. Install the local definition in the terminal-owning region. This definition can be autoinstalled.
  4. Install the remote definition in the application-owning region(s).
Note: If your regions share a CSD file, make sure the definitions are in different groups, because:
  • You want to install them in different regions
  • The TERMINAL names are probably the same, so the definitions cannot be in the same group.
