Shipping terminal definitions

Having, in the CSD file available to the terminal-owning system, one local terminal definition that can be shipped to other systems when required. This method is known as shipping terminal definitions.

  1. You create a local definition for the terminal, in the CSD file of the terminal-owning system. (This can be a shared CSD file.)
  2. You install the local definition in the terminal-owning system. (This definition can be installed at system initialization, or by using CEDA INSTALL, or by autoinstall.)
  3. When the terminal invokes a transaction belonging to another system, the information necessary to create a remote definition is shipped to that system, and a temporary definition is installed there automatically.

If the local definition was autoinstalled, the shipped definition lasts until the terminal is logged off. Otherwise, the shipped definition lasts until the local definition is installed again, or until the link between the systems is broken.
