Primary menu option 0 Settings customizes
the CICSĀ® Configuration Manager ISPF
dialog for each user. These settings are stored in each user's ISPF
profile:
- Display limit
- Specifies the maximum number of resource definitions to be retrieved
for display on a list panel per CICS configuration,
per request. Use this setting to control:
- Response times. Retrieving large numbers of resource definitions
can take a long time.
- TSO region size required to process requests for large volumes
of data.
If the number of resource definitions matching the request
filter and search criteria exceeds this limit, then the list panel
displays a message but no results. (Resource definitions are retrieved
in group order, whereas the default sort order for these list panels
is by resource definition name. Displaying partial results in the
sort order specified by the list panel could hide gaps in the data,
and give the user the false impression that the results are complete.)
- Options
- Customize the behavior of the ISPF dialog. You can also set these
options from the action bar choice.
- Save confirmation
- Determines whether the ISPF dialog prompts you to save your changes
when you attempt to exit a panel with unsaved changes. For example,
you make changes to a panel, and then you press the Exit key
(F3).
- On
- Display a prompt, and do not exit.
To save your changes and
then exit:
- Type SAVE on the command line and
then press Enter.
- Press the Exit key
(F3).
- Off
- Save and exit without prompting.
- Cancel confirmation
- Determines whether the ISPF dialog prompts you to cancel your
changes when you attempt to exit a panel with unsaved changes.
- On
- Display a prompt, and do not exit.
To exit the panel without
saving your changes, type CANCEL on the
command line and then press Enter.
- Off
- Discard changes and exit without prompting.
- Uppercase translation
- Determines whether the ISPF dialog automatically translates some
mixed-case resource definition attributes to uppercase. For a list
of the limited set of attributes to which this option applies, see Uppercase translation of resource definition attributes.
Uppercase
translation occurs only when you edit the attribute data. If the attribute
is unchanged, the data retains its original case even if uppercase
translation is set on.
- On
- Automatically uppercase some attributes when they are changed.
- Off
- Do not automatically uppercase attributes.
- CICS Configuration Manager server
- Defines the connection between the ISPF dialog and the CICS Configuration Manager server.
- IP address and Port number
- The IP address and port number that the ISPF dialog uses to connect
to the CICS Configuration Manager server.
- SSL (secure sockets layer)
- If the port number
uses SSL, then set SSL to "enabled".
If you enable SSL, then
you must specify either a keyring name or a key database, depending
on the release of CICS Transaction
Server used by the
CICS Configuration Manager server:
- For CICS Transaction Server
V2.1 or later, specify a keyring name
- For CICS Transaction Server
V1.3, specify a key database
When you use the ISPF dialog to submit a batch job, the ISPF dialog
generates JCL that calls the CICS Configuration Manager batch interface.
This JCL includes the job statement information and batch job stepped
libraries that you specify here. For more information on the batch
interface, see Overview of the batch interface.
- Job statement information
- The ISPF dialog precedes the JCL that it generates with up to
four lines of JCL that you specify here. The first line should contain
a JOB statement. If you leave any of the other lines entirely blank,
they are omitted from the job JCL. No validation is performed for
any of these JCL statements.
- Batch job stepped library
- On separate STEPLIB lines, enter the fully-qualified data set
names (without enclosing quotes) of the library that contains the
national language support load modules, and the library that contains
the batch command program CCVBMAIN:
ccvhlq.SCCVAlang
ccvhlq.SCCVAUTH
where
lang is one of
the following 3-character national language codes:
- ENU
- U.S. English
- JPN
- Japanese
If you connect to the CICS Configuration Manager server via an authenticated
port, then both of these libraries must be APF-authorized. For details,
see Optional: Enable PassTicket processing.
If omitted,
batch jobs submitted by CICS Configuration Manager will
not include a STEPLIB ddname.
