If you understand minidisk cache (MDC) then there's no reason not to implement XLINK for shared dasd. It is simple enough that even a ... a ... uh ... sysprog can do it! Going beyond XLINK (single logon, shared spool, cross-system commands) requires one to have more knowledge of how the system works. In the New World Order of single system image, we expect that the cluster will be able to be configured and maintained with considerably less knowledge and experience than is required to use CSE.
