Job A on system A issues static SQL query to DB2 on system B.  Which is
faster:

1) DDF call to DB2 on system B via APPC over FICON CTC 

or

2) Local call to DB2 member of datasharing group w/ FICON CF links?

Considering the overhead of DRDA protocol and independent enclave
creation/classification/scheduling, etc., I would guess option 2 is more
efficient in terms of CPU and response time.  I'm just not sure how to
determine in theory to what degree.

SPEED!!!
XCF signalling via Ficon CTC links well outperform CF structures. Others
will benefit similarly (VTAM).
