Chapter 3 Managing IMS Data Definitions : Task E: Define a Location Parameter

Task E: Define a Location Parameter
You use this section of the table definition screen to define a location parameter for an IMS table. You use a location parameter to access IMS or DB2 data through a peer Gateway associated with another Data Object Broker (remote node). If you do not need to access remote data, use the D line command to delete the parameter. If you always access the IMS or DB2 table remotely, the node from which you request the access can have either a minimal or a full definition.
Minimal and Full Node Definitions
Define data parameters on the full definition, not a minimal definition.
Minimal Definitions
A minimal definition with a location parameter means you always access data at a remote node. A minimal definition consists of the following:
The table name, which must be the same at both locations.
The location parameter, which must be the same at both locations. The name of the remote node where the full definition is located must be supplied in the Default field, Src field, or Src and Sourcename field.
The table type specified in a minimal definition does not have to match the table type of the full definition on the remote node.
Full Definitions
A full table definition with a location parameter means you can access data at either the local or the remote node.
The table type of the full definition must match the data on the local node. For example, a full definition of type TDS used to access TDS data on the local node can also be used to access an IMS table with the same name on a remote node.
If the Execution Environment is non-z/OS, the non-z/OS Data Object Broker requires a minimum or a full TDS table definition. IMS tables cannot be defined on a non-z/OS Data Object Broker.
