sysplex is multiple systems connected using sysplex time.
Base sysplex is nothing but more than one system connecting
by sysplex timer and all the dasd are shared in between
those systems. To share the work load we use these type of
environments.
parallel sysplex is ( base sysplex + coupling facility)
coupling facility = sharing of central memory between two
systems..
monoplex is only one system we are using for work.

Answer / prathap
SYSPLEX - System Complex - Is clustering more systems for
availability, sharing workload, recovery, resource and data
sharing. Is of two types - Base and Parallel sysplex.
Base Sysplex:
Joining systems through Channel to Channel (CTC)
connections (connecting through ESCON cables).
Parallel Sysplex:
Joining systems through a coupling facility (CF) LPAR
(connecting/coupling happens through a special type of
system/LPAR).
Monoplex:
An option (customized during system start up) used for
stand alone systems to use Sysplex Services within the
system. i.e. In sysplex, applications (DB2, CICS, IMS,
etc.) can communicate to each other across the systems and
in Monoplex this happens within the system.
One more type is XCFLOCAL: This is also a stand alone
system (alike Monoplex) in which we cannot exploit sysplex
services.

What is sysplex?
INCLUDE is used ONLY on MVS/ESA Version 4 or higher systems to name an INCLUDE group. An INCLUDE group is a set of one or more valid JCL statements that are stored together in a JCLLIB data set or a system procedure library, and that are read in and used to replace the INCLUDE statement itself within the job. Any number of INCLUDE statements can be used in a job, but the name field value used on each should be unique within the job. The INCLUDE statements can appear in a job anywhere after the JOB statement, but may not appear between a CNTL and ENDCNTL JCL statement.

How is it possible to do a cross-sysplex copy of a PDS dataset by running one JCL on the target sysplex? I tried to use IEBCOPY with SUBSYS & CSM as follows: //CSMTRAN1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD DSN=PDS-Dataset-name-from,DISP=SHR, // SUBSYS=(CSM,'SYSPLEXNAME-FROM') //SYSUT2 DD DSN=PDS-Dataset-name-to,DISP=OLD, // SUBSYS=(CSM,SYSPLEXNAME-TO') //SYSIN DD DUMMY This did not work. I always get the following error "IEB1071E DD NAME SYSUT1 IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PARTITIONED DATA SET BUT IT HAS NO DIRECTORY. EXPECT A TERMINAL I/O ERROR. (DS1LSTAR=X'000000' DS1DSORG=X'0000' JFCDSORG=X'0200') " The source dataset is a catalogued pds dataset with many entries. The target dataset is allocated in the same job some lines before the transfer. I got an example like this for PS datasets with IEBGENER. But for PO datasets there should be a similar possibility...
is there any other way to install s/w in mainframe apart from smp/e system?
