How to Define a Transactional SNA CICS or SNA IMS Remote Environment

A transactional SNA CICS or SNA IMS remote environment (RE) is one that supports Sync Level 2 to enable two-phase commit (2PC). Note that none of the TCP/IP REs support 2PC because TCP/IP does not support Sync Level 2 or any other 2PC mechanism.

Note that IMS version 6.0 and IBM Resource Recovery Service (RRS) are required on the mainframe system for IMS sync level 2 support.

To define a transactional SNA CICS or SNA IMS RE

1. Start TI Manager.

2. Create a new CICS Using LU 6.2, CICS LINK Using LU 6.2, or IMS Using LU 6.2 RE, or click an existing SNA RE in the console tree.

   To create a new RE, double-click Transaction Integrator in the console tree, right-click Remote Environments, point to New, and then click Remote Environment.

3. Right-click CICS Using LU 6.2, CICS LINK Using LU 6.2, or IMS Using LU 6.2 RE, and then click Properties.

4. Click the LU 6.2 tab.

5. Select the Supports Sync Level 2 Protocols check box.
