Initiating CA Datacom CICS Services

To initiate CA Datacom CICS Services manually, issue the DBOC STARTUP command or the DBEC P,STARTUP command. This function does initialization and resource allocation, establishes the MUF connections as required, and opens User Requirements Tables properly. For more information, see the URT Connections Table. Alternatively, CA Datacom CICS Services can be initialized automatically by putting the DCCOCPR program in the CICS PLT startup deck.

Important! If any other commands are issued before the system is properly initialized as previously described, the result produced is a partial STARTUP. The result does not yield complete MUF connections and URT opens that you might be expecting. Partial STARTUP, as available in the previous releases, is no longer supported. Issuing any DBOC operational transaction before the automatic or manual startup causes a partial startup and therefore causes an undesirable state.

If you inadvertently issue a command causing a partial STARTUP, we recommend that you issue a DBOC SHUTDOWN followed by a DBOC STARTUP to perform a full initialization of CA Datacom CICS Services.

DBOC

(Required) Specify the transaction ID used with Operational commands to control system resources. Leave a space between the transaction ID and the command.

STARTUP

(Required) Specifies initiation of CA Datacom CICS Services.

If CA Datacom CICS Services has already been started during PLT processing, issuing DBOC STARTUP has no effect. If CA Datacom CICS Services is not active due to the processing of a DBOC SHUTDOWN command, only the master operators can reinitiate CA Datacom CICS Services by issuing a DBOC STARTUP command.

One or more master operators can be defined through the MSTOPR= parameter in the DBCVTPR macro. If undefined, all users are eligible to invoke master operator-type functions. Specifications for master operator can be altered for the current CICS session through the screen displayed when you issue the DBOC GENOPTS command.

Note: For more information about initiating CA Datacom CICS Services and the DBOC GENOPTS command, see the System Reference Guide.
