Assemble CICSOPTS

Initial Installation

A site-specific CICSOPTS module will be assembled and link edited as part of the installation process. All parameters for CICSOPTS that are required for the DL/I Transparency will be automatically generated by the CAISAG (z/OS) or CAIIJMP (z/VSE) installation utility when you indicate the product to be installed. The site-independent IDMSINTC module will include all modules specifically required to run the DLI/Transparency.

Modifying CICSOPTS

You may need to reassemble CICSOPTS to change some of the original installation options.

z/OS can find the CICSOPTS source in CUSTOM.SRCLIB(CICSOPTS) and the link statements in CUSTOM.LNKLIB(IDMSINTC).

z/VSE clients should edit the CICSOPTS module and relink IDMSINTC. Job control to do this should be taken from the job control that was generated by CAIIJMP for your initial base tape installation.

Note: For more information about the CICSOPTS macro and its parameters, see the CA IDMS System Operations Guide.

IDMSINTC is the standard CA IDMS/DB module for running CA IDMS/DB transactions under CICS.CICSOPT parameter ESCDLI=YES specifies that you want to run not only standard CA IDMS/DB, but also CA IDMS DLI Transparency, under CICS. The result of ESCDLI=YES is to expand CICSOPTS, so that it can also serve as the CA IDMS DLI Transparency front end. If applications utilize EXEC DLI statements, HLPI=YES enables support for this DL/I usage. Note that it is possible to link IDMSCINT with a transaction to allow the transaction to make both CA IDMS/DB and DL/I calls.
