With the exception of the administrator commands /CHANGE-GUARD-FILE, /REPAIR-GUARD-FILE, /SHOW-GUARD-MANAGEMENT-STATUS, /SHOW-EVALUATED-CONDITIONS and the macro CHKSAC all commands and macros can be used in an MSCF network. Whether or not the user ID specified in the guard name exists can be checked in an MSCF network only for shared-pubset operation.
In a computer network with matched environment, it is assumed that the date and time in all connected computers is the same.
Different SECOS versions in an MSCF network
CAUTION!
If you want to use different versions of SECOS in a computer network, please always refer to current release information. In particular when shared pubsets are implemented, SECOS version of the pubset master must be observed as most catalogs (e.g. file catalog TSOSCAT or GUARDS catalog SYSCAT.GUARDS) are exclusively managed by the pubset master. Therefore functional restrictions may apply if different SECOS versions are in use on pubset master and pubset slave, and functional changes may occur if a master change takes place and different versions of SECOS are in use on old and new master.
