Martin Packer, reminded me of a couple other CICS regions that are being used. QOR's or Queue Owning Regions, for your Temporary Storage queues, DOR's or Data Owning Regions for data, can be files, Data Tables or anything data..
How are you using these CICS regions?

QOR (queue-owning region) can also be used for those regions where MQ triggers fire.
My favorite was when a customer was talking about their POR, which I thought meant "printer-owning region", but they informed me that it stood for "piggie-owning region" as it was the penalty box where they ran the applications that used too much CPU and storage.
It is a fact that very few CICS applications are being developed for 3270 terminals. However, the concept of a "point of entry" CICS region is still very valid. Work arrives in the "point of entry" region and is routed to the AOR (application-owning region) where the work will be performed. So I've seen these called WORs (web-owning regions) and GORs (gateway-owning regions). A colleague suggested that we keep calling them TORs but now let that stand for "transport-owning regions" rather than "terminal-owning regions". I like this approach since I can keep using the same topology charts I've been using since the early 1990s.
