Use Separate Startup Members for Host and Remote Systems

If you are sharing the CA-L-Serv parameter data set among systems, you can provide separate startup command members for each system: one for the system where the host file server is running and one for each system where a remote server is running. These members should be referenced using INCLUDE statements in the LDMPARM member of the CAW0OPTN data set. (Host and remote servers are described in the File Server section.)

Having these separate startup command members allows you to easily distinguish commands for the host server from commands for remote servers. In addition, if the host server goes down, you can change host servers without stopping CA-L-Serv. See Configuring the file server for an example of how you can implement new host and remote servers using command members, without shutting down CA-L-Serv.

For example, you might provide the HOSTPARM member to start CA-L-Serv servers and establish the host server, and REMOPARM member to start CA-L-Serv servers and establish the remote server.
