Autoinstall of
connections is particularly useful when dealing with many similar
connections or when you are unsure of the LU names (netnames) to be
used.
To
configure autoinstall of connection definitions:
- Update the default autoinstall program from DFHZATDX to DFHZATDY,
by specifying the SIT parameter AIEXIT=DFHZATDY. Alternatively, write
your own autoinstall user-replaceable module based on the samples
provided.
- Configure model definitions. The supplied DFHZATDY autoinstall
program uses the template CBPS. CBPS is supplied in DFHAI62 group;
copy it to your own group and modify it accordingly. The parameters
in the connection definition template are the same as for a static
definition (see Defining the location of the remote system),
except that the netname is not needed.
The parameters for the sessions definition are the same as those
listed in
Defining CICS sessions, except
that the Connection parameter must refer to the CBPS connection definition.
If you use the supplied connection autoinstall program (DFHZATDY),
the connection name generated is based on the last four characters
of the Netname. To change the connection name, create your own user-replaceable
module from the sample provided in CICSTSxx.CICS.SDFHSAMP, where xx
is the release of your CICS TS server. For example, xx is replaced
by 22 for CICS TS 2.2 (CICSTS22.CICS.SDFHSAMP), 23 for CICS TS 2.3,
31 for CICS TS 3.1, and 32 for CICS TS 3.2.
