CAICCI tends to function better when connections are only initiated from one side of a potential connection. CAICCI may potentially be set up such that all nodes will try to connect to all other defined nodes. This would generally cause an excessive amount of connection attempts within the network. The general recommendation is for distributed platforms such as Windows and UNIX machines to initiate connections to mainframes and for mainframes not to initiate connections to distributed platforms. This can easily be achieved by simply not coding CONNECT statements in CCIPARMs for distributed nodes. Windows and UNIX REMOTE statements, by default, try to establish connections to the listed node.
For mainframe-to-mainframe connections, the recommendation is to code a CONNECT statement only on one (1) of the systems involved in a connection. The system that is more test oriented (more likely to go down) should be the system that has the CONNECT statement coded. If the systems are complete equals, then just choose one to be the one with the CONNECT statement. When there are many nodes involved, all requiring connections to each other, simply number each of the nodes, then have each node have a connect statement to all higher numbered nodes.
