Administering for intercommunication

You can manage definitions of MRO, IPIC, and APPC parallel-session connections between CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS® systems using connection definitions.

Important: For considerations that apply to other types of connection, see Connections that do not fully support shunting.

Recovery information for a remote system is largely independent of the connection definition for the system. This allows you to manage (for example, modify) connection definitions independently of any recovery information that may be outstanding. However, in some cases the connection definition holds important information, which means that it must be kept, unmodified, until any recovery between the systems is complete.
