TSAF's connections are rather old, it was well positioned at the 9370 and 9221 age with their integrated adapters, but nowadays .... If you can get a CTC connection between the systems, use an IFSC link, that's even simpler than TSAF: CP ACTIVATE ISLINK rdev on both sides, and you're done.
BEWARE: SFS resource names (and alike) must be unique. Assure it is before you issue the ACTIVATE command, otherwise you're in trouble. Use Q RESOURCE to find all resource names; alls those that are not LOCAL must be unique. 2008/7/21 Fox Blue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dear all, > > I have two z/VM running on different CPCs.
