Introduction: 

I'm running CA Datacom CICS Services Version 14.0 , CA IDEAL 14.0 and CA IPC 14.0 .

Question: 

What is the order of the CA 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:  

z/OS CICS Transaction Server 

Answer: 

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

1)      DCCOCPR            - CA Datacom CICS Service Facility 14.0 open/close interface

2)      @IADPLTI           - CA Ideal 14.0 Build in-core Load Module table build

3)      SCPSPLTI            - CA 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:

CA Datacom CICS Services 14.0 CAB1SAMP(B114PLTA)  

*------------------------------------------------------------*

*  CA DATACOM CICS SERVICES VERSION 14.0 PLTPI               *

*------------------------------------------------------------*

*   INSERT AFTER->  DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM       *

         DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DCCOCPR

CA IDEAL 14.0 CAILSAMP(IL14PLT)

*------------------------------------------------------------*

*  CA IDEAL 14.0 CICS PLT ENTRIES             IL14PLT        *

*------------------------------------------------------------*

* INSERT AFTER ->  DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DCCOCPR FOR DBC *

*------------------------------------------------------------*

*  CA IDEAL LOAD MODULE FUNCTION STARTUP PLT                 *

*------------------------------------------------------------*

         DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,[email protected]                                               

*------------------------------------------------------------*

*  CA IPC PRINT SUB-SYSTEM (PSS)                             *

*------------------------------------------------------------*

         DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=SCPSPLTI                                 

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

+DFHSI8430I XXXXXXXX About to link to PLT programs during the third stage of initialization.

+ICPSPLTI01I - TASK NETT SUCCESSFULLY STARTED

+DC00118I - Advantage CA-Datacom CICS Services STARTED  BY   PLT

+DB00101I - STARTED JOB-yyyyyyyy   NUMBER-zzzzz CXX=cccccccc    MUFNAME=mmmmmmmm  SVC=nnn

+IDAEPLTP04I - TASK TO BUILD IDEAL IN-CORE MODULE TABLE STARTED

+IDAEPLTP07I - SITE OPTION DECLARES MODULES ALREADY DEFINED TO CICS.

+IDAEPLTP05I - TASK TO BUILD IDEAL IN-CORE MODULE TABLE COMPLETED

Additional Information:

1)  CA Datacom CICS Services can be manually started with transaction DBOC STARTUP or

manually stopped with DBOC SHUTDOWN

        2)  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.
