1. A method for implementing a signaling service protocol to permit signaling service messages between members 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 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 a converter module;

    receiving by the converter module, on the computer, a request related to performing a communication-related function;

    the request being received from one of the other interworking modules, wherein;

    the converter module comprises a plurality of sub-modules with each sub-module corresponding to a respective communications-related function;

    based on the request, determining by the converter module, on the computer, what particular communication-related function is being requested;

    based on the particular communication-related function, identifying, by the converter module, on the computer, a corresponding sub-module within the converter module;

    executing the corresponding sub-module, on the computer, wherein executing the corresponding sub-module comprises;

    invoking a routine, in the data transfer application, to generate a signaling service message related to the communications-related function; and

    constructing by the converter module, on the computer, contents to be included in the signaling service message.
