Transaction routing

Transaction routing allows one CICS® system to run a transaction in another CICS system. The transaction routing facility enables a terminal operator to enter a CICS transaction code into a terminal attached to one CICS system, and thereby start a transaction on another CICS system in a different address space in the same processing system or in another system.

There are two cases of transaction routing:

APPC transaction routing makes use of much of the non-APPC function, and there is often considerable overlap between the function provided by modules for each of the two cases.

The CICS Intercommunication Guide gives a detailed description of transaction routing.
