Remote configuration

The remote configuration allows OPERTUNE on one MVS system to communicate with OPERTUNE on another MVS system. This configuration requires either XCF or VTAM cross-domain communications, as illustrated in following figure:

Considerations for remote configurations are as follows:

• XCF communications are possible only if the host and target OPERTUNE have the same XCF group defined in their system profiles.
• VTAM communications are possible only if the host and target OPERTUNEs have VTAM APPLIDs defined in the system profile.
• You can define both a VTAM APPLID and an XCF group for the same OPERTUNE, and you can use both XCF and VTAM for remote communications with other OPERTUNE systems.
