The following notes give details of a technique used to port
applications from one IMS system to another using MSC.

  /MSASSIGN command can be used to assign a remote transaction to a
  different MSC link, possibly going to a different IMS system.
  You can also use the command /MSA TRAN MYTRAN TO LOCAL, to reassign
  a remote transaction to your local system.
  To use this you need 2 APPLCTN statements in the gen;

*                                                                       00130000
   APPLCTN PSB=LGA01                                                    00140006
   APPLCTN PSB=LGA01,SYSID=(8,48)                                       00141006
    TRANSACT  MODE=SNGL,SEGNO=50,SCHD=3,SEGSIZE=2300,CODE=GA01,        X00150000
               PROCLIM=(10,1),                                         X00160000
               PRTY=(7,14,10)                                           00170000
*                                                                       00180000
  IMS uses the APPLCTN directly above the TRANSACT at cold start - IE
  the case above would start up as remote. If you have IMS systems in
  a DASD sharing environment, you port whole applications around with
  this command, + /DBR and /STA of associated DBs.
