Downloading TDQueue objects for a region

About this task

Before creating new TDQueue objects, you may want to download any existing TDQueue objects for the current region, to get the most recent information from the mainframe host. Use these steps:

Procedure

  1. In the CICS® BAC main window, select the TDQueues folder in the target region.
  2. Click the Download icon on the toolbar or select File > Download from Host > TDQueue object. This opens a special download dialog box.
  3. Enter the name of the TDQueue to download and click OK. You can also retrieve a list of objects 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.

    When you click OK, CICS BAC connects to the mainframe, downloads the objects, and updates the TDQueues folder. Alternatively, if you click the Browse host button, CICS BAC returns a list of TDQueues already in the CICS region's control file whose names match the filter provided. 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.

  4. Open the TDQueue objects in the view pane to see the downloaded properties.
