You can connect CICS to DBCTL by:
You should get the following message:
DFHDB8207D DBCTL Connection requested. Press PF5
to confirm.
If you want to proceed with the CICS-DBCTL connection, press PF5 as requested on the display. The "status" line of the display is then updated. (You can find out the current status of the connection at any time by pressing PF2, which refreshes the display.)
This display also shows you the application identifier of the CICS system (in this case, DBDCCICS), and the identifier of the DBCTL system to which CICS is connected. The DBCTL identifier is available only when the connection has been made. You can also see the suffix of the startup table for this connection.
The following display shows you the effect of asking for option 1:
CDBC CICS-DBCTL CONNECTION/DISCONNECTION 93.259 13:33:59 Select one of the following: 1 Connection 2 ORDERLY disconnection 3 IMMEDIATE disconnection Option Selection ==> 1 Startup Table Suffix ==> 00 DBCTL ID Override ==> DFHDB8207D Connection to DBCTL requested.
