The last two tabs in the File Properties window let you identify
transactions and programs that will be processed by the batch request
utility when a command to process this file is encountered. If the
batch request utility command sets the file's state to OPENSTATUS(OPEN)
and ENABLESTATUS(ENABLED), the programs and transactions will be set
to ENABLESTATUS(ENABLED) after the file's state has been successfully
set. If the batch request utility command sets the file's state to
OPENSTATUS(CLOSED) or ENABLESTATUS(DISABLED), the programs and transactions
will be set to ENABLESTATUS(DISABLED) before the file's state is set.
You can easily download transaction IDs and program names from a CICS® region on the host and add them to the list using the controls
provided.
If you have already downloaded a list from the host computer, the
IDs are shown on these screens in red. At this point, you have two
additional options:
- You can browse and add individual transaction IDs or program names
from the host computer by clicking the buttons labeled Get
transaction IDs from host on the Transaction List tab or Get program names from CICS region on
the Program List tab. This opens a special box that you can use to
enter the transaction ID or program name (or a suitable filter for
downloading a list of related names).
- Use this dialog to obtain object names from the host using the
EXEC CICS Inquire command to retrieve a list of programs
or transaction IDs defined in the CICS region,
or by browsing the CICS region's CICS BAC
control file. You can specify the object or a suitable filter in the
upper half of the dialog box and the acquisition method in the lower
half. Click OK when finished.
- You can also enter a specific object name in the text field (or
multiple object names separated by a comma or space), then add the
specified objects to the list by clicking the button labeled Add objects provided in box below.
- Once you have selected all the objects to be included, use the
controls in the middle of the dialog box to arrange the objects in
your lists. The list in the left column contains the transaction IDs
or program names that you want to be processed during batch request
utility commands containing the OPENSTATUS and/or ENABLESTATUS parameters
for this file. The list in the right column includes transaction IDs
or program names that aren't in the list on the left.
- To add a name to the file list, select it from the right panel
and click the Add button.
- To remove name from the file list, select it from the left panel
and click the Remove button.
- To rearrange the left-side list, click an item to be moved and
then use the Move up or Move
down buttons.
