XCFPOLxx can be used only in a multisystem sysplex on a processor with the PR/SM™ feature.

Functions provided through XCFPOLxx can provide high availability for multisystem applications on an MVS™ system on PR/SM.

The sysplex failure management (SFM) policy includes all the function available through XCFPOLxx. If a system is connected to an SFM couple data set in which the SFM policy is started, all XCFPOLxx specifications on that system are ignored, regardless of whether the SFM policy is active in the sysplex.

For more information about XCFPOLxx, see Planning sysplex availability and recovery.
