CA Roscoe Cross-Memory Notes

Be aware of the following:

• Start the primary SARXMS region with the XMSSUB=YES parameter.

  The XMSSUB=YES parameter must only be used in an XMS address space with a default subsystem ID (SUBSYS=XMC2 or not specified).

• If multiple SARXMS regions are started, they must be started with XMSSUB=NO parameter.

  Only the primary XMS region can have XMSSUB=YES specified.

• The XMS regions must have the XMS=YES parameter to make it accessible.
• The EBCXMCTR table must be assembled during installation to define the relationship between CA View and CA Deliver database high-level qualifiers.

  The table contains an EBCXMOPT macro to define initialization options and the EBCXMTRN macro for each CA View database transaction.

The EBCXMTRN macro also contains options for the specific database as follows:

• SUBSYS= parameter of the cross-memory task must match the SUBSYS= parameter specified in the EBCXMCTR table entry.
• RECON=YES can be used to allow reconnection (after a TSO terminal error) at the point of exit.
• TIMEOUT= specifies how long TSO is to wait for the XMS session to respond after the user enters input, in seconds.

  We recommend as high a value as possible but not less than 240 (4 minutes).

Note: The SUBMAX= parameter controls the number of user connections, not the USERMAX= parameter. USERMAX= only applies when you are using the subtask with the CICS interface.

Install the CICS Pseudo-Conversational Option

Important! This option uses the cross-memory feature distributed with CA View and must be installed with that feature.

Note: For more information about cross-memory, see Install Cross Memory Services.

Installation Steps

The following steps are required to install the CICS Pseudo Conversational Option. Each step is explained in detail in the sections that follow.

1. Place the CA View load libraries into DFHRPL and STEPLIB.
2. Code the PCT and PPT Table Entries to CICS.
3. (Optional) Prepare the interface to a user-written CICS menu system.
