Subcategory: This parameter shows the subcategory and can be any value. It can be entered in the Subcategory field of the APPLICATION INFO policy item for the application itself or application class that this application is linked to.

Subsystem ID: Enter the OPC subsystem ID.
Controller ID: Enter the OPC subsystem ID of the controller that is controlling this tracker. This field is only used for tracker definitions. It allows for the specification of a remote controller. If the controller is not in the same sysplex as the tracker, specify this field.
Remote controllers with the hot standby function are not supported.
Controller LU Name: Enter the Logical Unit name of the controller that is controlling this tracker. This field is only used for tracker definitions. It allows for the specification of a remote controller. If the controller is not in the same sysplex as the tracker, specify this field.

You do not need to specify the Controller ID and Controller LU Name fields if the controller is in a remote sysplex or system that can be controlled by SA z/OS with the TARGET= parameter of the commands.
