Table 77 summarizes the parameter manager domain’s specific gate. It shows the level-1 trace point IDs of the modules providing the functions for the gate, the functions provided by the gate, and whether or not the functions are available through the exit programming interface (XPI).
Gate | Trace | Function | XPI |
---|---|---|---|
PAGP |
PA 0101 PA 0102 |
FORCE_START GET_PARAMETERS INQUIRE_START |
NO NO NO |
The FORCE_START function of the PAGP gate is used to override the type of start requested by the START system initialization parameter. It is currently used to force START=AUTO if the MVS™ automatic restart manager indicates that CICS® is being automatically restarted with the original startup JCL (so that CICS does not get a COLD start that the original JCL might have asked for).
COLD|AUTO

EXCEPTION | NOT_POSSIBLE |
The GET_PARAMETERS function of the PAGP gate is used to get the initialization parameters for a requesting domain.
YES|NO
YES|NO
OK|EXCEPTION|DISASTER
The INQUIRE_START function of the PAGP gate is used to find out the type of start that CICS is to perform. This information is used to determine whether domains need to perform a cold or warm start.
None.
