SERVICE TYPE=LOCAL statements define local services offered by a local IMS host. There can be multiple SERVICE TYPE=LOCAL statements and multiple statements defining the same service, provided each specifies a different local IMSID. Each statement requires the following information:

• The corresponding local and remote service names

  The Local Service Name is the name used by an IMS Client transaction to request the service. The Remote Service Name is the name of the service as defined on the remote system.

  Note:

  The local and remote service names can be different; however, the Remote Service Name must match the configuration of the remote system.
• The IMSID (Logical IMS ID) that offers the service

  The IMSID is a symbolic name that uniquely identifies an IMS system definition. This name must match a logical IMS ID (IMSID) specified in a HOST, TYPE=IMS statement.
