Workload requirements

The conditions that make a work request eligible for dynamic routing are given in the CICS Intercommunication Guide.

Any CICS® system may act as a requesting region, a routing region, or a target region, as long as:

A CICS system can act as a target region in one or more workloads; however, it can act as a routing region in one and only one workload. Note that a CICS system can act as a routing region and a target region in the same workload.

When a CICS system acting as a target region is combined with other target regions to form a CICS system group, each of the target regions should have access to all of the resources required by any transactions that may be routed to that CICS system group. In the case of a CICS BTS workload, they must all be in the same sysplex.

Before you can implement dynamic and distributed routing, you need to specify Yes in the Routing support active field of the CICS system definition. See CICSPlex System Manager Administration.
