CICS Installation

To install the menu system in the CICS environment

1. If you are running a version of CICS earlier than TS 3.1.0, add the following line after the &ESFCICS SETB statement in BQ4JCICS:

   &CTS310 SETB 0 1=CICS 310 or higher
   

2. Run the job BQ4JCICS, if not already done during CA Spool installation.
3. Define the program and transaction for the CA Spool CICS menu interface into the desired RDO group using CICS program DFHCSDUP:

   DEFINE  PROGRAM(ESFMCICS)  GROUP(ESF)  LANGUAGE(ASSEMBLER)              
   

   DEFINE  TRANSACTION(ESFM)   GROUP(ESF)  PROGRAM(ESFMCICS)  TWASIZE(0) 
   

           TASKDATALOC(BELOW)  TASKDATAKEY(USER)
   

   Add the RDO group to your CICS startup list (the SIT parameter GRPLIST=).

4. Copy the ESFMCICS load-module from the CA Spool load library to a library within the DFHRPL concatenation in the CICS startup JCL deck.

   Note: When installing CICS support on to a CA Spool task that has already been started, the modules loaded into the CSA must be reinitialized by issuing the "REINIT,MODULES,ON" command followed by a recycle of the CA Spool started task.
