An application in a XCF context is a program that has various functions distributed across z/OS systems in a multisystem environment. An application or subsystem might consist of multiple instances, each running on a different system in the same sysplex. Typically, each instance performs certain functions for the application as […]
XCF – a sysplex couple data set to store information about its systems, the XCF groups and members running in the sysplex, and general status information. CFRM – The Coupling Facility Resource Management (CFRM) couple data set holds the CFRM policy, which allows you to define how MVS is to […]
XCF provides the services that allow multisystem application functions (programs) on one z/OS system to communicate with functions on the same or other z/OS systems. The communication services are provided through authorized assembler macros and are as follows: Group services Signalling services Status monitoring services Group Services […]
Server Time Protocol (STP) is a server-wide facility that provides capability for multiple z/OS systems to maintain TOD synchronization with each other and form a Coordinated Timing Network (CTN), that is, a collection of z/OS systems that are time synchronized to a time value. The External Time Reference (ETR) […]
A Base Sysplex configuration is a sysplex with no Coupling Facilities. The Base Sysplex can be composed of one or more z/OS systems that have an XCF sysplex name and in which the authorized programs (members) use XCF services. XCF services are available in both single and multisystem environments. A […]
