CICS® IA Natural
support runs as an exit to the Natural Review Data Collector. The
Natural Review Data Collector and the CICS IA
Natural support exit must be link-edited into an NSN.
Before you begin
Follow these steps to install Natural Support:
Procedure
- Verify that the CICS IA
Natural exit is available, using program CIURDCX1 found in the hlq.SCIULOAD
library
- Follow the instructions for link-editing the Natural Review
Data Collector, (NATRDC) into an NSN as provided by the vendor. The
exit can be linked into one of three places:
- The Independent (shared) nucleus NATvvvSH.
- The CICS dependent nucleus
NCvvvRE.
- A dynamically loaded CICS parameter
module.
- Link the exit into the CICS dependent
nucleus, NCvvvRE:
- Specify the RDCEXIT and RDCSIZE parameters in the Natural/CICS
parameter module. These parameters are options on the NTPRM macro.
Set the parameters as follows:
- RDCSIZE=2
- RDCEXIT=(CIURDCX1,400)
- Add the following DD statement for the CICS IA load library to the job used to link-edit
the NSN:
//ACIUMOD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.ACIUMOD
- Add the following linkage-editor control statement to the
linkage-editor input stream:
INCLUDE ACIUMOD(CIURDCX1)
- If you are linking into the Independent (shared) nucleus
add the following into the job stream:
//SCIULOAD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.SCIULOAD
INCLUDE SCIULOAD(CIURDCX1)
What to do next
When the above steps have been completed the CICS IA collection of interdependency data will
record the names of the Natural programs involved in place of the
name of the Natural nucleus.
