Remote terminals, method 2—DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE

Terminal entries for remote systems or regions can be defined to CICS using the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro as an alternative to defining them using DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macro instructions in conjunction with a DFHTCT TYPE=REGION macro.

The expansion of the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro is independent of the region currently referenced.

Note: If the SYSIDNT operand indicates that the home region owns the terminal, all the operands of the DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macro become valid on the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro and have the same meaning as for TYPE=TERMINAL. However, if (as is normally the case) the SYSIDNT operand indicates a remote region, the additional operands of DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL are valid on the DFHTCT TYPE=REMOTE macro, but are ignored. (For details of the DFHTCT TYPE=TERMINAL macro, see Sequential devices and TCAM—DFHTCT TYPE=SDSCI, LINE, TERMINAL.)

ACCMETH=access-method
Code this with the access method of the remote terminal.
RMTNAME={name-specified-in-TRMIDNT∨name}
Specifies the 1- to 4-character name by which the terminal is known in the system or region that owns the terminal (that is, in the TCT of the other system). If this operand is omitted the name in the TRMIDNT operand is used.
SYSIDNT=name
Specifies the name of the system or region that owns this terminal. The name must be the same as that used in the SYSIDNT operand of a previous TYPE=SYSTEM macro, or the TYPE=INITIAL macro.
TRMIDNT=name
Specifies the 1- to 4-character name by which the terminal is known in this system (that is, in the local system that owns this TCT, and that owns the transactions).
TRMTYPE=terminal-type
Code this with the terminal type. For details, see Sequential devices or TCAM—DFHTCT TYPE=SDSCI, LINE, TERMINAL.
