Setting Up Communications from Host to Local CICS System

At this stage, you are not able to use transaction routing, function shipping, or DPL from the host CICS region. Also, distributed transaction processing (DTP) does not work because the host CICS region is currently unable to initiate tasks on the local CICS system.

If you have reached this point successfully, you should now have the communications server software on the local server configured and connected to the VTAM host system. The local CICS system should be able to use transaction routing, function shipping, and distributed program linking (DPL) to the host system.
