Customizing for Certain Applications › Define Shared Applications

Define Shared Applications

The following shared applications have special requirements when you define them to CA TPX:

• CA-Remote
• RMDS (prior to Put 8702)
• CA-Roscoe
• CA STX

To define each shared application

1. Specify a value of SHR in the Type field of the ACT.
2. Specify PARSESS=YES in the application definition in SYS1.VTAMLST.

   This allows parallel sessions for the application. If you do not specify PARSESS=YES, only one user will be able to access the application at a time.

Example

The application definition for CA-Remote would look like this:

SCON APPL AUTH=ACQ,PARSESS=YES,EAS=n...

Notes:

1. Do not use the CA-Roscoe PASS facility, which allows users to pass directly from this product to another application.
2. For RMDS after Put 8702, define RMDS as a group application, and do not specify PARSESS=YES in the application definition.
