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.
