Initiating CA Datacom CICS Services

We recommend that CA Datacom CICS Services be initiated by using CICS PLT startup in the CICS system. Use the appropriate DBEC P,STARTup command to manually initiate CA Datacom CICS Services for the local system if the startup is not automatic (that is to say PLT) or if CA Datacom CICS Services is currently shut down as a result of issuing the SHUTdown command.

When the DBEC command for startup is issued, CA Datacom CICS Services does the following:

  1. Connects all MUFs defined with PLT in the DBCSID macros (or connects the single MUF when there are no DBCSID macros appended to DBCVTPR)
  2. Opens all URTs not defined with AUTO= or DEFER= in DBCVTPR (which then causes connects of any associated MUFs defined with AUTO in the DBCSID macros)
  3. Displays the URT-level panel with the initialization message for the remote system

You can then enter the command to display the updatable MUF-level or URT-level panel, beginning with the first MUF or URT in the remote system. When the panel is displayed, you can enter a command from the command line or an action code on any displayed row.

Invoke the following transaction to perform CA Datacom CICS Services startup processing in the local CICS system.
