Destination IDs

When you issue the COF DEFINE, COF ACTIVATE, and COF DEACTIVATE commands, you may specify a list of destination IDs for the DESTIDS keyword. Destination IDs are the names of CICS transient data queue destinations, as defined in the CICS destination control table, or DCT. If no DESTIDS are specified on the DEFINE command, then CICS regions build empty destination name lists, and no messages are sent to the AOF from that CICS region. You can use the COF ACTIVATE command to add destination names to the empty list at a later time.

You can use the COF ACTIVATE command to add destination names to the empty list at a later time.

You can use the CICS CEMT command to display the names of CICS destination queues.

For your convenience, you can use the following destination name in any OPSCTL COF command to see the DEFAULT destination ID list that is described in the previous section:

For example, consider the following:

ADDRESS OPSCTL "COF DEFINE JOBNAME(DEFAULT)",
  "DESTIDS(CSMT,CSSL,CADL,CSDL,CSKL)"

ADDRESS OPSCTL "COF DEFINE JOBNAME(CICSPROD)",
  "DESTIDS(%%%%,CSPL,CSNE)"
