CICS® multiregion operation (MRO) enables CICS regions that are running in the same MVS™ image, or in the same MVS sysplex, to communicate with each other. MRO does not support communication between a CICS system and a non-CICS system such as IMS™.3
ACF/VTAM and SNA networking facilities are not required for MRO. The support within CICS that enables region-to-region communication is called interregion communication
The facilities provided by MRO include:
