Automatic Initiation

We recommend that you include the PLT entry contained on the installation tape so that CA Datacom CICS Services is initiated automatically. If you prefer to manually control when CA Datacom CICS Services is initiated, do not include the PLT entry during installation. If you omit the PLT entry, an information message is issued on the first use of the DBOC transaction. It is necessary when CA Datacom CICS Services is not automatically started that the first command is either a DBOC STARTUP or a DBEC P,STARTUP command to help ensure a complete startup. Otherwise, a partial startup is done and your system state is unpredictable.

Only a master operator is authorized to issue a DBOC/DBEC command that initiates CA Datacom CICS Services. All other operators or other inquire operands receive a message stating that CA Datacom CICS Services is not started. For more information, see MSTOPR=.
