Changing Generation Options Online (DBOC GENOPTS)

The DBOC transaction allows the master operators to change several CA Datacom CICS Services system generation options specified in the DBCVTPR macro. Modifications made through DBOC remain in effect only for the life of the CICS cycle. For details about making permanent changes to these options, see Specifying Generation Options (DBCVTPR).

Use the DBOC GENOPTS command to view and modify system generation options for the current CICS session.

Note: The DBOC GENOPTS and DBOC INQ=GENOPTS only applies to the default MUF for Multi-User-specific fields, that is, the first MUF defined by the DBCSID macro in the DBCVTPR module. The use of the multiple MUFs feature requires a default CA Datacom/DB MUF that must be at CA Datacom/DB Version 12.0 or later. The MUF with the most recent version must be listed first in the DFHRPL (the load library concatenation for loading modules in CICS). For example, if you are connecting to both CA Datacom/DB 14.0 and 12.0, the 14.0 libraries must be first in the concatenation. For custom libraries, the default MUF custom libraries must be first in the concatenation.

Also, consider that if the MUF JOBNAME is filled on this screen, it does not necessarily indicate that CICS is still connected to the default MUF. It only indicates that at some point in the past it had been connected. To get MUF Connection information, use the DBEC transaction.
