Define the XCOMPLEX Admin Server in a Coupling Facility Environment (Optional)

The XCOMPLEX Admin Server manages the XCOMPLEX. The XCOMPLEX Admin Server requires different JCL from the XCOMPLEX Worker Servers. An XCOMPLEX Admin Server is a server that is brought up with PGM=XCOMXADM on the EXEC statement of the server JCL.

To define the XCOMPLEX Admin Server.

1. Define the XCOMPLEX Admin Server. CAI.CBXGJCL(XCOMADM) contains a sample job for the XCOMPLEX Admin Server.
2. Specify the name of the XCOMPLEX in the Default Options Table using the XCOMPLEX parameter. Specify the name of the XCOMPLEX by specifying in the EXEC PARM of the XCOMPLEX Admin Server JCL.
3. The Admin Server must have its own XCOMRRDS and history file.

Notes:

• The XCOMPLEX Admin Server does not schedule transfers itself. At least one XCOMPLEX Worker Server must be available for transfers that are scheduled. If there are no XCOMPLEX Worker Servers, the transfers are rejected.
• All participant members of the XCOMPLEX must be the same release.
