Preparing Control Information › Transaction Name Table

Transaction Name Table

Purpose

The transaction name table (CICS only) specifies correspondences between a CICS transaction and the CA IDMS/DB subschema that the transaction will use. A TNT is optional if all CA IDMS VSAM Transparency CICS transactions use the same subschema. It is required if different CA IDMS VSAM Transparency CICS transactions use different subschemas.

If no TNT is specified, CA IDMS VSAM Transparency uses the subschema named in the JCL, or from the SYSESVS parameters (under z/VSE CICS only).

More information:

For more information about z/VSE CICS SYSESVS parameters, see z/VSE CICS SYSESVS Parameters

Parameters

TNT NAME is transaction-name-table-name

A user-defined TNT name of 1 to 8 characters.

TRANSaction NAME is transaction-name

Specifies a 1- to 8-character transaction code or transaction name. There can be several occurrences of this statement for each TNT. The transaction names can be obtained from a CICS program control table (PCT) listing.

If the transaction is not specified in the TNT, CA IDMS VSAM Transparency uses the subschema specified in the application JCL, or from the SYSESVS parameters (under z/VSE CICS only).

More information:

For more information about z/VSE CICS SYSESVS parameters, see z/VSE CICS SYSESVS Parameters If no default has been specified, the transaction is not processed.

SUBschema NAME is subschema-name

Specifies a 1- to 8-character subschema name that will be used by CA IDMS VSAM Transparency to process the named transaction.

NODENAME is nodename

Specifies the node name that contains the database to be accessed by CA IDMS VSAM Transparency for this transaction. Nodename can be from 1 to 8 characters.

DBNAME is database-name

Specifies the name of the database to be accessed by CA IDMS VSAM Transparency for this transaction. Database-name can be from 1 to 8 characters long.
