Moving a TOR to a different generic resource

To move a region from one generic resource to another, you must:

  1. End any affinities that it owns. See Ending affinities.
  2. Shut it down cleanly. See Generating VTAM generic resource support.

    If CICS® is not shut down cleanly before you try to register it as a member of the new generic resource, VTAM® may fail to register it, and issue a RTNCD-FDB2 of X'14', X'86'. To correct this, you must restart CICS with the original GRNAME and APPLID, and use a CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN NOSDTRAN command to shut it down cleanly. Alternatively, if you have written a batch program to end affinities, you might be able to use it to achieve the same effect. As part of its processing, the skeleton program described in topic Writing a batch program to end affinities opens the original VTAM ACB with the original GRNAME, unbinds any persisting sessions, and closes the ACB.

  3. Specify the name of the alternative generic resource on the GRNAME system initialization parameter, and restart CICS.
