XCF Concepts and Coding: A Multi-system Application Example
The increasing importance of Sysplex enabled applications requires an understanding of XCF (Sysplex Services for Communication). This SHARE presentation illustrates the coding and usage of XCF services within a Sysplex enabled, multi-system application. The following topics are discussed and illustrated:
XCF Concepts: Sysplex, Group, Member
XCF Services: Group, Signaling, and Status Monitoring
XCF Member attributes and states
Overview of XCF macros
A sample application named RXC illustrates all the XCF concepts from the presentation implemented in Assembler code
The RXC system is primarily intended for z/OS systems programmers and developers of authorized software. It assumes some knowledge of assembly language programming.
