Defining the debugging profiles data sets as remote files

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 base file for Debugging Profiles (non-RLS remote)       * 
*-------------------------------------------------------------------* 
DEFINE FILE(DFHDPFMB) GROUP(DFHDPVSR)                                 
DESCRIPTION(Debugging Profile Base File - VSAM Remote)                
        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)                
  1. Copy the sample FILE definitions for DFHDPFMB and DFHDPFMP resource to another group.
  2. Add the DSNAME attribute: Alternatively, you can omit the DSNAME attribute, and include a DD card in the CICS startup JCL. For example:
    //DFHDPFMB DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.DFHDPFMB,DISP=SHR
    //DFHDPFMP DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.DFHDPFMP,DISP=SHR
  3. Install the FILE definitions.

If you define remote files, you will need to install corresponding file definitions in the remote system.
