(ZOS) Manage nodes and resources on z/OS

The z/OS location service daemon starts automatically if it is not already running when we start an application server or a deployment manager server. We can manage the location service daemon in a console. Location service daemons provide the CORBA location service in support of Remote Method Invocation and Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI/IIOP). The daemon works with z/OS workload management to distribute RMI requests (for example, enterprise bean requests) among application servers in a cell. A location service daemon process runs on each system that has a node in a sysplex node group. One location service daemon exists for each sysplex node group in a cell.
