Configuring Abend-AID on multiple MVS images

This section describes two basic configurations supporting Abend-AID on multiple MVS images — both in a coupled multiprocessor and parallel sysplex configuration:

  • Multiple viewing servers sharing a single customization file across MVS images.
  • One viewing server supporting multiple MVS images.

In both of these configurations, shared DASD is a requirement. In addition, you need to use Global Resource Serialization (GRS) or an equivalent product to protect the integrity of Abend-AID files shared across MVS images. See GRS-considerations for more information.

Note

Abend-AID does not use the MVS coupling facility for data sharing and locking in a parallel sysplex. However, Abend-AID uses shared DASD and GRS to provide data sharing and locking.
