Can you use TSAF for what you want to do? I've used that to shared SFS between 1st and 2nd level without a real CTC, only virtual.

Or wo a third system in your CS collection which itself has an ISLINK to the first. Mark L.

You need not do FCTC, look at the DEFINE command for the type of CTC you desire. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wakser, David Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 9:34 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Defining virtual CTCAs All: I have the need to define a virtual CTC between a first-level zVM machine and a 2nd-level zVM machine. This is in order to activate ISLINK between those two machines. Since the virtual CTCs need to "belong" to the z/VM "system" I am at a loss as to how to do this. Can anyone help lift the fog?
