Issue/Introduction

ENF can be used for up to 3 functions:

Record events for use by other CA solutions.

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:

09.54.08 STC06023  S CCITCPGW
09.54.08 STC06023  S CCITCP
09.54.08 STC06023  S CCISSLGW
09.54.08 STC06023  S CCISSL

Is there a way to restart CCITCPGW after an abend without restarting ENF? 

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.  Notice that the S CCITCPGW command is automatically issued.

Note that ENF will not issue the "S CCITCPGW" start command if it is already active.  If this is the case, stop CCITCPGW via the "P CCITCPGW" command before issuing the above PROTOCOL command.
