Updating transactions from remote to local by using the repository

You can update a transaction or transaction descriptor from remote to local in an IMSplex by using the IMSRSC repository.

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

Procedure

  1. Issue the UPDATE TRAN command or the UPDATE TRANDESC command with the REMOTE, SIDR, and SIDL keywords. In the command, specify REMOTE(N), and set the SIDR and SIDL values to the same local system identifier (SYSID).
  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.
  3. Repeat these steps at each IMS system where the transaction or the transaction descriptor is to be defined as local. The repository will remove the remote attributes for each IMS in the repository.
