REMTRAN - Remote transactions

The REMTRAN view shows general information about currently installed remote transactions. Remote transactions are transactions that are defined to the local CICS® system, but reside in another CICS system.

Availability

The REMTRAN view is available for all managed CICS systems.

Access

Issue command:
REMTRAN [tran [rem-tran]]

tran
is the specific or generic name of a currently installed remote transaction, or * for all remote transactions.

rem-tran
is the specific or generic name of a remote transaction as known to the CICS system where the transaction resides. Use this parameter to find out what CICS systems have a particular transaction defined as remote and what names they know it by.

If you do not specify parameters, the view includes information about all remote transactions within the current scope.

Note:
Some transaction names might contain lower case characters. You cannot inquire on these in the EUI using a filter because TSO converts lower case characters to upper case. For example ab* will be converted to AB* and as a result no data will be retrieved.
Select:
TRANS from the OPERATE menu, and REMTRAN from the TRANS submenu.

Figure 144 is an example of the REMTRAN view.
