Creating new transaction ID objects
CICS® BAC lets you define a set of customized properties for any number
of transaction ID objects. These properties govern how transaction ID objects
will be processed during CICS BAC startup in the CICS region. When you are ready to start defining
properties for a specific transaction ID:
- Select the appropriate TransIDs folder in the tree pane, then select File > New > Transaction ID object on the CICS BAC menu bar
or click the New icon on the toolbar and select Transaction ID. This displays
a dialog box that you can use to specify the new transaction ID object name.
- Choose one of the following options:
- Enter a unique name for the object (such as "TRN1") and click OK. You cannot use NewT as the name.
- Click Browse Host for Existing TransIDs and use
the resulting dialog box to return a list of transaction IDs either from the CICS region control file or the CICS region's definitions. You may then select
a transaction ID from the list to continue defining a transaction ID object.
This opens the TransID Properties window for your new transaction
ID object.
Define the appropriate settings on the TransID options tab.
For details, see TransID object details. The TransID state
information tab provides information about the last time the transaction ID
was processed by CICS BAC.
- To save your changes, select File > Save or click
the Save icon. To cancel any changes since the window
was opened or since the last save, click the Cancel icon.
- When you are finished customizing the object properties for this transaction
ID object, select File > Close Window to exit.
