Sharing terminal definitions
To migrate your TCT definitions to the shared CSD file:
- Suppress the assembly of remote definitions in all the TCTs to be migrated,
by removing (or commenting-out) the TCT source for:
- TYPE=REMOTE entries
- TYPE=REGION and subsequent TYPE=TERMINAL entries
- Assemble the TCT for the terminal-owning system, suppressing any macros
for remote definitions that you may have if there is more than one terminal-owning
system.
- Assemble the TCT for the application-owning system, if it contains any
definitions for local terminals. Again, suppress any macros for remote definitions
if you need to assemble this TCT.
- Use DFHCSDUP to migrate all the TCTs. The commands look like this:
MIGRATE TABLE(DFHTCTLA) TYPESGROUP(TTS)
MIGRATE TABLE(DFHTCTRB) TYPESGROUP(TTS)
Migrating the remote
terminals normally creates definitions that use the same TYPETERMs created
for the corresponding local definitions.
- Initialize the CICS® terminal-owning system, installing at least one TERMINAL
definition and other resource definitions necessary for using RDO.
- Use the ALTER command to name the REMOTESYSTEM as the SYSIDNT of the terminal-owning
system, on all the TERMINAL definitions that might be shared. You can probably
use a generic name to do this in one command. For example:
CEDA ALTER TERMINAL(*) GROUP(TTS) REMOTESYSTEM(ACIC)
- Include the groups containing the definitions in the GRPLIST for each
system, terminal-owning and application-owning.
