Tailoring your CICS startup job

To enable CICS® IA to run in your CICS region, configure your CICS startup job.

About this task

To set up the CICS startup job, do the following:
  1. Specify the system initialization parameter DB2CONN=YES. This parameter is necessary to run the CINQ query transaction and the CICS IA Explorer.
  2. If you plan to use VSAM RLS to share the Dependency data file and control record file across multiple regions, specify the system initialization parameter RLS=YES.
  3. Set the ICVR system initialization parameter to at least 10 seconds, that is, ICVR=10000 (or a larger value). If you do not do this, the Collector or one of your own transactions might end prematurely with an abend code of AICA.
  4. Add the following load libraries to the DFHRPL concatenation in the startup job JCL:
    • hlq.SCIULOAD
    • hlq.SCIULODE
    Or you can edit the CIUJCINT job to define LIBRARY resources for the SCIULOAD and SCIULODE/K data sets, and they will be loaded dynamically during the startup job execution.
    Note: Available for CICS IA V3.2 or above.
  5. Add the following DD statement for the CINT transient data message log:
    //CINTLOG DD SYSOUT=*
  6. On each region where you intend to collect DB2® data, ensure that the user ID, under which the CINB transaction runs, has permission to access the SYSIBM.SYSPACKSTMT and SYSIBM.SYSSTMT DB2 tables. You can give access by granting access to the CICS IA plan or by adding the user ID to the RACF® group that already has such permission.
