The CICS segment of the RACF user profile contains data for CICS users. For information on the order in which CICS searches for the operator information, see Obtaining CICS-related data for a user.
The information you can specify in the CICS segment is as follows:
Specify operator classes for users who use CICS transactions that issue EXEC CICS ROUTE commands with the (optional) OPCLASS parameter. For automatic routing to occur, you specify the corresponding value as an operator class in the CICS segment of the user profile.
For more information, see the CICS® Application Programming Guide.
CICS stores the code in the operator's terminal entry in the CICS terminal control table (TCTTE) when the operator signs on. This operator ID is displayed in certain CICS messages and can also be used in the EXEC CICS ROUTE command for routing BMS messages.. It is also used when using the CEDA LOCK function, as described in the CICS Resource Definition Guide.
For more information, see the CICS Application Programming Guide.
CICS uses the sum of operator priority, terminal priority, and transaction priority to determine the dispatching priority of a transaction.
The time must be a decimal integer in the range 0 through 9959 (the last two digits represent a number of minutes, and must be 00 through 59. Any digits to the left of these represent hours).
ALTUSER userid CICS(TIMEOUT(0108))
The
value of 0 (the default) means that the terminal is not timed out.Table 1 shows how specifying FORCE or NOFORCE in the system initialization parameters, on the TYPETERM definition, and in the CICS segment together determine whether a terminal remains signed on after a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover.
As Table 1 shows, for a terminal to remain signed-on after a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover, NOFORCE must be specified in all three locations.
TYPETERM definition | CICS segment | System initialization parameter | Resulting terminal status |
---|---|---|---|
FORCE | FORCE | FORCE | Signed-off |
FORCE | FORCE | NOFORCE | Signed-off |
FORCE | NOFORCE | FORCE | Signed-off |
FORCE | NOFORCE | NOFORCE | Signed-off |
NOFORCE | FORCE | FORCE | Signed-off |
NOFORCE | FORCE | NOFORCE | Signed-off |
NOFORCE | NOFORCE | FORCE | Signed-off |
NOFORCE | NOFORCE | NOFORCE | Signed-on |
ALTUSER USER1 CICS(XRFSOFF(NOFORCE) TIMEOUT(10))
ALTUSER USER2 CICS(XRFSOFF(NOFORCE) TIMEOUT(1))
If a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover occurs to a system in which XRFSTME=5 is specified in the system initialization parameters, and the restart or takeover takes longer than five minutes, USER1 does not remain signed-on, but USER2 does.
