Issue/Introduction

Analysis of a RC/Compare for Db2 for z/OS (RCC) strategy (or using command COMP during creation) with a remote target Db2 system results in this error:

RMA318E UNEXPECTED RETURN CODE RECEIVED FROM ROAGETXT
     FUNCTION=VW RC=X"00000004

MIGRATOR ANALYSIS COMPLETED, RETURN CODE =  12

Resolution

This may occur if the target Db2 system is remote and an entry for that system is either missing or is defined wrong in the SETUPxx
member of the parmlib (highlvl.CDBAPARM). You must define the remote system like the local system, i.e. an entry that starts like this:

SSID     (xxxA)
SSIDDESC (DB2 SUBSYSTEM)
SSIDVER  (V10)
SSIDMODE (NFM)
LOCATION (LOACATIONA)
LOCSSID (xxxx) 
...  etc ...
