Given a CL base and very small data requirements I believe the easiest solution for you is to use remote data queues.

Your CL program uses the Send Data Queue CL command and on the other system a CL program uses the Receive Data Queue command (specifying a wait time of forever) to receive status information from the sending system. Set up two remote data queues (one from System A to System B, one from System B to System A) and you’re in action. This type of approach, and how to set everything up (which isn’t much), is also in the APIs at Work 2nd Edition book I referenced earlier.

These systems each have Dual Power Supplies, but are in the same rack and share UPS’s.
In the case of being notified that there has been a Power Failure I want to check to see if the other system has received the same CPF message and make decisions based upon that info.

Any other thoughts,
Thanks,
Bill
