Thanks for the tips guys. I am using the same node name ("JES2") on both systems--that's probably why the XCFGRPNM parm was necessary. (I NJE with a VSE machine & when the 3.1 system is the primary/only machine I'll move the CTC connection to the new system without changing any of the VSE stuff.)
These are 2 development systems running under VM. No production at all. Once everything is set up on the z/OS 3.1 system, we probably will rarely run the 2.5 system. I just need them up together once in awhile to test things using a coupling facility, like VSAM/RLS between the 2 systems. Thanks again!
