Resolution

To make the mixed mode Data Sharing environment work for the utilities regardless of which LPAR the utility is routed would require utilization of the ENVDEF member and 2 PTISYSxx / SETUPxx members in hlq.CDBAPARM.

 

Sample:

-DISPLAY GROUP:

RDL9 (Logical Group)

RD91 (v10) / WYL2

RD92 (v10) / WYL5

RD93 (v11) / WYLY

RD94 (v11) / WYLZ

 

 

SETUP00:

SSID (RDL9)

SSIDVER (V10)

SSIDMODE (NFM)

 

SSID (RD91)

SSIDVER (V10)

SSIDMODE (NFM)

 

SSID (RD92)

SSIDVER (V10)

Modify the ENVDEF member with the following specifications:

Create a new PTISYS01 member with the following specifications:
