Thanks Barbara, Bob, and Scott. Your replies refreshed my memory and
answered my questions. I thought of the fact that you have to make
application changes to fully implement the takeover, but I didn't think of
it until after I posted my question. As Barbara pointed out, setting up
everything to minimize the failover time can be very costly.

Subject: Re: Sysplex Basic Question
Eric,
Can you set up a sysplex so that both machines have everything running on
each CPU in the plex, and when one system crashes the other will
automatically take over everything?
In theory: Yes. With the exception of the running transaction. That one
will
get terminated. I said 'in theory', because *I* have never seen a sysplex
set
up like that. I guess one needs to look at the big GDPS installations to
find it.
I will not comment on CICS specifically (no experience here whatsoever),
though.
