Each transfer must be updated at each state change(started, each checkpoint, etc). In case of a transfer failure, the RRDS record isused to determine the last checkpoint and restart accordingly.IBM's Local Shared Resources (LSR) facility allows the sharing of commoncontrol blocks such as I/O control blocks, buffers, and channel programs.Advantage CA-XCOM Data Transport for z/OS and OS/390 version 3.1 supportsthe use of LSR for the XCOMRRDS. Using this facility for the XCOMRRDS willincrease performance when queuing and processing transfer requests.
