Remote definition

When a terminal belonging to (local to and fully defined in) one system invokes a transaction belonging to another system, it is known to the application-owning region as a remote terminal. The application-owning system needs to have access to at least a partial definition of the remote terminal. This partial definition is often known as a remote definition. This is a partial definition of the terminal, installed in the application-owning region and intermediate regions. It contains the minimum information necessary for the terminal to access a transaction in that system. You create remote definitions only if you are using the duplicating method.
The following terminals and logical units cannot use transaction routing and therefore cannot be defined as remote:
