You can associate one or more build areas with each build configuration. You can locate build areas on:
Your current machine.
A Dimensions application server machine.
A remote node, using the normal Dimensions remote node identification mechanism.
A Dimensions agent is required on each machine hosting a build area, for details see the Installation Guide for Windows.
On a mainframe machine you can have multiple logical MVS and USS nodes, each running a Dimensions agent. For information about setting up mainframe physical and logical nodes see the Dimensions for z/OS User's and Administrator's Guide.
For information about setting up physical and logical nodes all other platforms see the Process Configuration Guide.
On mainframes there are frequently multiple LPARs where each can:
Run one or more listeners.
Have one or more logical MVS and/or USS nodes, implemented by one or more listeners for the related LPAR.
IMPORTANT! A single IP address cannot connect to a collection of listeners over multiple LPARs.
Manipulation of storage by a listener is only dependent on the physical accessibility of that storage by the LPAR that the listener is executing on. There are also catalog structure and security issues associated with using an LPAR to manage arbitrary storage.
