Updating transactions from local to remote by using the repository

You can update transactions and transaction descriptors from local to remote in an IMSplex by using the IMSRSC repository.

To update transactions and transaction descriptors from local to remote in an IMSplex by using the repository:

Procedure

  1. Issue the UPDATE TRAN command or the UPDATE TRANDESC command with the REMOTE keyword and either the SIDR and SIDL keywords or the MSNAME keyword. In the command, specify REMOTE(Y) and either set the SIDR value to a remote SYSID and the SIDL value to a local SYSID, or specify the name of a logical link path by using the MSNAME keyword.
  2. Issue the EXPORT DEFN TARGET(REPO) command, which defaults to the SET(IMSID()) keyword, to route the command to the IMS system whose resource definitions are to be exported. Or, if automatic export to the IMSRSC repository is enabled with AUTOEXPORT=AUTO or REPO, ensure that AUTOEXPORT_IMSID is set to THIS_IMS. Both parameters (AUTOEXPORT and AUTOEXPORT_IMSID) can be found in the DYNAMIC_RESOURCES section of the DFSDFxxx member.
  3. Repeat these steps at each IMS system where the transaction or the transaction descriptor is to be defined as remote. The repository will maintain the remote attributes for each IMS.
