Define remote files when you want to use profiles that are stored in a region that is connected using MRO or ISC. CICS® provides the following sample definitions:
*-------------------------------------------------------------------*

*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
DEFINE FILE(DFHDPFMB) GROUP(DFHDPVSR)

REMOTESYSTEM(CICA) REMOTENAME(DFHDPFMB)
*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Define path file for Debugging Profiles (non-RLS remote) *
*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
DEFINE FILE(DFHDPFMP) GROUP(DFHDPVSR)
DESCRIPTION(Debugging Profile Path File - VSAM Remote)
REMOTESYSTEM(CICA) REMOTENAME(DFHDPFMP)
//DFHDPFMB DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.DFHDPFMB,DISP=SHR
//DFHDPFMP DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.DFHDPFMP,DISP=SHR
If you define remote files, you will need to install corresponding file definitions in the remote system.
