Issue/Introduction

Is there any Datacom documentation available about Data Sharing?

Environment

z/OS, CA Datacom/DB 14.0 and higher

Resolution

Please read Chapter 15: Parallel Sysplex, Data Sharing (MUFplex)

in the CA Datacom Database and System Administration Guide for version 14.0 or read online here

https://docops.ca.com/ca-datacom/15-0/en/administrating/ca-datacom-db-database-and-system-administration/parallel-sysplex-data-sharing-mufplex

You can setup a MUFPLEX with one or more MUFs using full data sharing.

You do this by coding the mode parameter in the MUFPLEX startup option as either A or B instead of S for Shadow MUF.

The MUFs need to share the same CXX,LXX and FXX datasets but each MUF must have its own PXX dataset.
