Sunny:
As your IBM System z rep, we need to have a discussion on this before you
proceed to look into using CSE. Send me a note (off-list) with some times
you are available (say on Friday this week?) and we can talk.
CSE consists of three related, but independent, parts some of which have
pre-reqs of chargeable features or products you do not have.
* Cross system link
This facility extends CP link protocols across the CSE complex. It
controls normal, stable, and exclusive read or read/write access across
multiple VM systems for minidisks on shared count-key-data direct access
storage devices (CKD DASD), including those devices that accept the
extended-count-key-data (ECKD) channel program protocol.
* Cross system spool
This facility extends CP spooling capabilities. It contains and
manages spool files for users across multiple VM systems by using shared
DASD and a communication vehicle. The communication vehicle is the Virtua
l
Machine/Pass-Through Facility with modifications. You can set up your sys
tem
to have cross system linking without cross system spooling.
* Cross system MESSAGE and QUERY commands.
With CSE, MESSAGE and QUERY command support is extended to allow th
eir
use across multiple VM systems. Refer to Supported Features for features
of
z/VM that are supported across system boundaries.
