CICS VSAM Transparency for z/OS, Version 1.2


Defining CICS VT driver modules in CICS

Define the CICS® VT DIM and DDM driver modules in CICS. If you use the data migration generation utility, the member VID9CSD in the generated appl.dimname.migrate library contains the input to the batch CSD update for a specific DIM and DDM. If you add the definitions manually, the attributes of all CICS VT driver modules should match those shown in Figure 1.

You should define CICS VT driver modules using the batch CSD update program. This allows you to port the definitions to other CICS systems, for system testing or production cutover. You should also remember that when a CICS transaction accesses a CICS VT migrated data set, DB2® access takes place and the transaction must be defined accordingly.

Start of change If required, you can define CICS VT driver programs to CICS as RESIDENT. End of change
