Our application consists of a transactional part which runs under CICS and several batch type server address spaces all doing DB2 work. Traditionally the CICS and batch server address spaces have run in the same z/OS instance and we have a CICS transaction that searches the ASCB chain for the names of the batch server address spaces so that the CICS users can tell if they are running and if not then they can start them up. We now have a client who wishes for performance or load balancing or whatever reason to run the batch server stuff in another lpar of the sysplex in a DB2 data sharing environment. That all works fine, but the CICS users now can't tell if the batch servers are up and running and I was hoping there was some way from within a CICS transaction to query whether the batch server jobs were running anywhere in the sysplex. It seems that that is not possible from the replies so far.
