How You Link Regions

The INMC feature lets you establish and operate links between regions.

The DOMAIN command is used to define a remote region. The command includes the following:

The name of the region definition. This value is the same as the name specified by the PRI JCL parameter.
The access methods that can be used to contact remote regions
Access method-specific details:
- For VTAM, the region name is used as the VTAM ACB APPL name.
- For TCP/IP, a region definition that includes the IP name or the address and port number.

The LINK START command is then used to establish the INMC to the remote region identified by the DOMAIN command.
