Protect CICS, DB2 regions, and USS files (if CA-ACF2 or CA-TSS are used as a security product).

Start CCI (CA Common Communications Interface). 

ENF starts CCI (having CCI SYSID and CAS9DCM4 in place, yields:

CAS9626I - CAICCI Subsystem is operational, then ENF starts various CCI* tasks:

Environment

CCI running under ENF in a z/OS environment

Resolution

Yes, there is.

Use an ENF modify (PROTOCOL) command, matching the entry added to the CCIPARMS member.

F ENF,PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,xxxxxxxx:port) 
CAS9214I - CA-ENF Command: PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,xxxxxxxx:port) 223 
CAS9603I - CAICCI PROTOCOL has been updated 
CAS9240I - PROTOCOL - Command complete 
 S CCITCPGW 
 $HASP100 CCITCPGW ON STCINRDR 
 IEF695I START CCITCPGW WITH JOBNAME CCITCPGW IS ASSIGNED TO USER TCPIP 
, GROUP OMVSGRP 
$HASP373 CCITCPGW STARTED 
IEF403I CCITCPGW - STARTED - TIME=09.55.24 
 IEF403I CCITCPGW - STARTED - TIME=09.55.24 

CCITCPGW is started successfully, and back under the control of ENF
