Make terminal definitions shippable

Making terminal definitions shippable

To migrate your TCT definitions to one or more CSD files:
  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Use DFHCSDUP to migrate the TCT. The command looks like this:
         MIGRATE TABLE(DFHTCTLA) TYPESGROUP(tgrpname)
  5. Initialize the CICS terminal-owning system, installing at least one TERMINAL definition and other resource definitions necessary for using RDO.
  6. Use the ALTER command to change the SHIPPABLE attribute to YES, on all the TYPETERM definitions that might be used for shipping. You can probably use a generic name to do this in one command. For example:
    CEDA ALTER TYPETERM(*) GROUP(grpname) SHIPPABLE(YES)
  7. Include the groups containing the definitions in the GRPLIST for the terminal-owning system.
