Define the VTAM Cross-domain Environment

To use the cross-system services, you define cross-domain resources for the systems to which you are connecting.

To define a cross-domain resource

  1. Find the cross-domain member name for the system to which you want to connect.
  2. Create a cross-domain resource member or modify an existing one for the system to which you want to connect. In this member, use a cross-domain resource macro to specify the system where CA OPS/MVS resides.

    For example, suppose the copy OPS1 resides on SYSTEMA and another copy that is named OPS2 resides on SYSTEMB, then SYSTEMA should have the following cross-domain resource:

    OPS2  CDRSC  CDRM=SYSTEMB,ISTATUS=ACTIVE
  3. Repeat the previous step for each system.

    The VTAM cross-domain environment is defined.
