Disadvantages

There are some disadvantages to duplicating your terminal definitions.

  • The CSD file uses at least twice the necessary amount of disk storage for your definitions.
  • The TCT uses more than the necessary amount of virtual storage for your definitions.
  • Unnecessary work is involved in maintaining the definitions.
  • You can autoinstall the terminal in the terminal-owning system, but you cannot autoinstall it in the application-owning systems.
