Example: Communication between sysplex and non-sysplex

Overview

The following table shows an example of the settings that need to be made inside and outside the sysplex to enable communication between subsystem BnnC (SSID inside the sysplex) and subsystem BnnD (SSID outside the sysplex).

Note: Parameter GOTO_OCF is only set when initializing the non-sysplex subsystem on the LPARs in the sysplex. Do not set this parameter when initializing any of the subsystems that are active within the sysplex (in this example SSIDs BnnA, BnnB and BnnC).

Inside the sysplex	Outside the sysplex
LPAR1 => SSID = BnnA LPAR2 => SSID = BnnB LPAR3 => SSID = BnnC	LPAR4 => SSID = BnnD
All of the subsystems BnnA, BnnB and BnnC are defined and initialized inside the sysplex on each of the LPARs 1, 2 and 3 (see "Initializing subsystems in the sysplex"). Parameters for BST01ARI in BnnSSIxx: As described by the product documentation, with the following XCF parameters: XCF=YES XCF_PROD=nn	Subsystem BnnD is defined and initialized outside the sysplex on LPAR 4. Parameters for BST01ARI in BnnSSIxx: As described by the product documentation, without XCF parameters.
Subsystem BnnD is defined and initialized inside the sysplex on LPARs 1, 2 and 3, using the following parameters: XCF=YES XCF_PROD=nn GOTO_OCF=BnnC (where BnnC is the SSID of the subsystem in the sysplex that contains the OCF parameters that enable communication with the subsystem outside of the sysplex).
The following parameters are set in the LST member of BnnC: OCF_APPLID=APPLnnC OCF_CONVERSE=APPLnnD OCF_LOCAL_SYSTEM=BnnC,BETAnn OCF_LOCAL_SYSTEM=BnnA,BETAnn OCF_LOCAL_SYSTEM=BnnB,BETAnn	The following parameters are set in the LST member of BnnD: OCF_APPLID=APPLnnD OCF_CONVERSE=APPLnnC OCF_LOCAL_SYSTEM=BnnD,BETAnn
