Use a Central Database on Multiple Systems

To use a central database on multiple systems, the environment variable CAI_OPR_REMOTEDB=ccisysid should be exported on each remote system. Add this export statement to the PROFILE file on each remote system.

This causes Event Management code to send message record queries to the database engine on the ccisysid node and receive a response from that node. The multiple systems involved can be z/OS systems running CA Datacom/AD or they can be distributed systems running CA NSM 3.0 or higher. For example, Event Management running on z/OS could use a distributed Microsoft SQL server database as its message record repository.
