Use CICS Autoinstall

CICS includes (as part of its RDO component) a dynamic TCT facility, which allows CICS to use terminals that have not been defined in the TCT. This facility uses the VTAM bind image to define the terminal.

Similar TCT definitions are required for the Autoinstall process. A suitable model is required for Autoinstall; an exactly matching definition for the VTAM logmode is required for the TYPETERM. CICS checks the incoming CINIT with all its models and, if none match, no Autoinstall is allowed. If you are using Autoinstall, you should use the following definitions. They will match the mode table entries.
