The name of the remote system

To route DPL requests for the program statically you must complete the following tasks.

  • Allow the value of the DYNAMIC option to default to NO.
  • On the REMOTESYSTEM option, specify the name of the server region to which LINK requests for this program are to be shipped. The name must be the name of an installed CONNECTION definition or an installed IPCONN definition.

An EXEC CICS LINK command that names the program is shipped to the server region named on the REMOTESYSTEM option.

To route DPL requests for the program dynamically:
  • Specify DYNAMIC(YES).
  • Do not specify the REMOTESYSTEM option; or use REMOTESYSTEM to specify a default server region.

An EXEC CICS LINK command that names the program causes the dynamic routing program to be invoked. The routing program can select the server region to which the request is shipped.
