The above VM and MVS systems run on separate computers. However, on some levels, communication exists between the two computers.
The options available for transferring data between the MVS and VM operating systems running on separate computers include the following:
If an RSCS machine is operated under VM, then RJE or NJE connections can be established between VM and MVS. This allows jobs and sysouts to be transferred between MVS and VM.
If a VM/VTAM machine is operated under VM, SNA connections can be established between MVS and VM. This allows a VM terminal user to invoke the IOA Online interface.
If a disk is shared between MVS and VM, a PS or PO file created under MVS can be read under VM.
