Transfers may be scheduled either through a connection to the PLEXQ group, or directly to a PLEXQ member server. Transfers are scheduled to the PLEXQ group by using the STCPLEXQ EXEC PARM in the XCOMJOB batch utility JCL. The STCPLEXQ parameter is mutually exclusive with the STCAPPL and STCIP/STCPORT parameters, and causes all scheduling or inquiry communications to be performed via the SYSPLEX Signaling Services rather than using the SNA or TCP/IP protocols.
An attempted transfer schedule request to a PLEXQ in which no servers are active will be rejected. Transfers may still be sent to a PLEXQ member server directly without going through the PLEXQ. Transfers scheduled directly to a PLEXQ member server are also considered in the XCOMJOB workload distribution algorithm. The total workload of each PLEXQ member server is evaluated before it is selected to receive a new transfer request by the XCOMJOB batch utility.
