Kees, The only parallel sysplex 'sharing' requirement we have been told is no reserve's are allowed in a GDPS/PPRC Hyperswap environment. CA-MIM has strongly recommended the use of ALLSYSTEMS mode for a number of reasons:
ALLSYSTEMS mode allows Unicenter CA-MII to automatically manage all SCOPE=SYSTEMS ENQs at run-time - as it sees them occurring. ALLSYSTEMS mode provides the highest level of resource serialization protection. ALLSYSTEMS mode eliminates data integrity exposures that occur when new ENQs are introduced into your environment unknowingly. ALLSYSTEMS mode eliminates the need for systems programmers to add new ENQ management definitions to Unicenter CA-MII every week or month. ALLSYSTEMS mode is the CA recommended mode of operation for the Unicenter CA-MII product. CA has a document titled: Unicenter CA-MII Data Sharing for z/OS that describes what happens when running CA-MII in SELECT vs. ALLSYSTEMS mode. Its dated March 2005, so its a recent document. I received it from our CA-MIM SysProg, so I don't know if its available on CA's Website. Thanks to all who responded to my query.
