Before creating new transaction ID objects, you may want
to download existing transaction ID objects for the current region,
to get the most recent information from the mainframe host. Use these
steps:
Procedure
In the CICS® BAC main window, select the
TransIDs folder in the target CICS region's folder.
Click the Download icon on the toolbar or select File
> Download from Host > Transaction ID object. This opens a special
download dialog box.
Enter the name of the transaction ID to download and click OK. You can also retrieve a list of transaction IDs by clicking
the Browse Host button. If you enter a generic name, it will
be used as a filter for the list retrieved from the host.
If you click OK, CICS BAC
connects to the mainframe, downloads the objects, and adds the downloaded
transaction ID objects to the TransIDs folder. If instead you click
the Browse host button, CICS BAC connects to the mainframe
and returns a list of transaction object names from the CICS region's
control file that match the name provided. You may then select a transaction
ID to be downloaded from the control file. If you haven't already
specified a host user ID and password, you will be asked to enter
your user ID and password to complete the connection.
Open the transaction ID objects in the view pane to see
the downloaded object's properties.
