Clone Regions

The z/OS system enables you to clone systems by sharing data set members. This product uses this feature to enable you to clone regions on different systems in a sysplex environment.

To clone regions on different systems, update the RUNSYSIN member for sharing by the regions as follows:

  1. Update appropriate parameter values and data set names to use defined system symbols to enable the member to be shared between regions on different systems. Useful system symbols include &SYSCLONE, &SYSNAME, and &SYSPLEX. You can use the VARxxx control statement to set up your own variables.
  2. Add SUBS=YES before the statements in which system symbols or defined variables are used, to enable substitution.
