Starting a transaction on a remote system

You can start a transaction on a remote system by issuing an EXEC CICS® START command just as though the transaction were a local one.

Generally, the transaction has been defined as remote by the system programmer. You can, however, name a remote system explicitly in the SYSID option. This use of the START command is thus essentially a special case of CICS function shipping.

If your application requires you to specify the time at which the remote transaction is to be initiated, remember that the remote system may be in a different time zone. The use of the INTERVAL form of control is preferable under these circumstances.
