Issue/Introduction

What is the order of the Datacom/IDEAL/IPC programs that need to be coded in the CICS PLT startup, and what messages are to be seen during the CICS startup?

Environment

Release: 15.1
Component: DBC/Ideal/IPC

Resolution

There are three programs that are to placed in the CICS startup PLT :

1. DCCOCPR            -  Datacom CICS Service Facility open/close interface
2. @IADPLTI             -  Ideal Build in-core Load Module table build
3. SCPSPLTI             -  IPC Print Sub-System (PSS)

 

These three programs are placed after the DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM in the above order.

This is mentioned in the supplied CICS members as follows:

Datacom CICS Services 15.1:

*------------------------------------------------------------*
*   CA DATACOM CICS SERVICES RELEASE 15.1 PLTPI              *
*------------------------------------------------------------*
*   INSERT AFTER->  DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM       *
         DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DCCOCPR                    

Ideal 15.1 CAILSAMP(IL15PLT):

*------------------------------------------------------------*           
*  IDEAL 15.1 CICS PLT ENTRIES                      IL15PLT  *           
*------------------------------------------------------------*           
* INSERT AFTER ->  DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DCCOCPR FOR DBC *           
*------------------------------------------------------------*           
*        IDEAL LOAD MODULE FUNCTION STARTUP PLT              *           
*------------------------------------------------------------*           
         DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,                                            X 
               PROGRAM=@IADPLTI                                          
*------------------------------------------------------------*           
*        PRINT SUB-SYSTEM (PSS)                              *           
*------------------------------------------------------------*           
         DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,                                            X 
               PROGRAM=SCPSPLTI                                          

 

During CICS PLT startup processing, you can expect to see the following messages in the CICS joblog:

+DFHSI8430I applid About to link to PLT programs during the third stage of initialization.             
+DC00118I - CA Datacom CICS Services 15.1.01  STARTED BY     PLT

+ICPSINIT00I - SPOOL QUEUE RECOVERY SUCCESSFULLY PROCESSED
+IDAEPLTP05I - TASK TO BUILD IDEAL IN-CORE MODULE TABLE COMPLETED                                          

Additional Information

• Datacom CICS Services can be manually started with transaction DBOC STARTUP or manually stopped with DBOC SHUTDOWN
• The IDEAL IN-CORE MODULE TABLE will be automatically built when the first IDEAL program is executed however, the initial response will be slower than normal due to the overhead of the in-core table being built.
