access dataset on other sysplex

Post by gmb65 » Wed Nov 12, 2014 6:08 pm

Hi gurus,
is there any way to access a dataset (PS, PO), which resides on another sysplex ?
Any DD-parameter, which tells, on what sysplex a dataset is located ?

like this or similar ?
//INDS DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MY.PS,PLEX=MVSX

I want to avoid, before every run of my job doing a transfer from one sysplex to another with CSM...

RACF-authority to access the dataset is granted.

thanks for any idea
Georg

I believe discs that are assigned to a sysplex can be referenced from another, but I don't remember how they need to be defined.

but, I think the real problem here is that you don't understand sysplex.
are jobs not 'run' in a particular sysplex? so it is the assignment of the job and not a super parameter in a dd statement that locates the disc.

plus, I am sure that there is some log, someplace, that would tell you which sysplex the dataset creating job was run.

either convince your operations group to define discs simultaneously on different sysplexi,
or
find the log containing the dataset originating job info,
or
find a way to organize your jobs to execute on the proper sysplex.

JCL, SQL and code in programs have an irritating habit of doing what you say,
