Resource Management

Installations can use APPC/MVS servers to perform global functions on behalf of users. An installation can centralize, within a single server address space, many of the requests for resources commonly made during transaction processing. For example, servers can be used to manage access to MVS resources, such as data sets and data bases.

APPC/MVS servers thus present an ideal solution for consolidating some of the redundant processing that normally occurs when transaction programs must access the same resources on MVS.
