How to Set Up SCF-based Products in an MRO Environment

The Installation and Maintenance Guide describes the table entries and modules needed to install SCF-based software in an environment with a single Terminal Owning Region (TOR) and a single Application Owning Region (AOR). If your site requires an environment with a single TOR and two or more AORs, use the information in this section to implement your SCF-based software products in a multiple AOR environment.

Before you begin, consider the following:

• Because current implementation supports transaction routing, but not function shipping, each AOR must function as an independent CICS address space. This means that SCF-based transactions are routed to run in the same AOR from signin through signout.
• Some internal CICS transactions SCF-based products use must be defined with unique transaction identifiers (trans IDs) in the TORs PCT. These transactions are:
  • BMS
  • BMSX
  • DDOL
  • DDOX
  • IDEA
  • IDLX
  • IPCV
  • IPCX
  • NETT
  • SAST
  • SCFD
  • SCFS

The procedure to implement multiple AORs in an environment with a single TOR requires the following steps:

1. You must specify new CICS resource definitions for the additional AORs.
2. You must create a separate copy of the SCF Transaction Table (SC00TRAN) for each additional AOR.
3. You must inform your application which AOR to use.
