Claim Text:
1. A method for generating a signaling service message for a message group of a sysplex coupled together using a signaling service, the method comprising: executing, on a computer, a data transfer application that communicates directly with a respective partner data transfer application on each member of the message group, the data transfer application comprised of a plurality of interworking modules including an interface module; receiving by the interface module, on the computer, a request related to sending the signaling service message; the request being received from one of the other interworking modules; based on the request, determining by the interface module, on the computer, a type of message for the signaling service message; based on the type of message, identifying, by the interface module, on the computer, a corresponding routine of an operating system executing on the computer which will generate the signaling service message; and invoking the corresponding routine that causes the operating system to generate the signaling service message; constructing, by the interface module, on the computer, contents to be included in the signaling service message; wherein the interface module comprises a first control block data structure local to the computer; wherein the signaling service message comprises the first control block data structure.
