Program autoinstall functions

The program autoinstall facility uses model definitions, together with a user-replaceable program, to create explicit definitions for programs, mapsets, and partitionsets that need to be autoinstalled. CICS calls the user-replaceable program with a parameter list that gives the name of the appropriate model definition. On return from the program (depending on the return code), CICS creates a resource definition from information in the model and from parameters which the program returns.

Note: CICS does not call the user-replaceable program for any CICS programs, mapsets, or partitionsets (that is, any objects beginning with the letters DFH).

For information about how to write the user-replaceable program, see CICS® Customization Guide.
