CICS VSAM Transparency for z/OS, Version 1.2


Bind CICS VT packages and plans

Member VIDB2BND in my.SVIDCNFG.custom contains a job stream that binds the DB2® packages and plans needed by CICS® VT system functions. No changes to the job stream should be required, although you must have the required DB2 privileges for the bind to be successful. Add your DB2 SDSNLOAD library to the STEPLIB DD in this job if the data set is not in the linklist.

CICS VT creates three collections in DB2. These collections are used as follows:

The plans you use for your application programs must include VIDCOLL in the package list at SQL driver bind time. This is also the default collection for the application data set driver modules (DDMs), which are modules that CICS VT generates for each migrated data set. CICS VT also generates data set information driver modules (DIMs) for each migrated data set. DIMs and DDMs are covered in Generating CICS VT runtime modules.

The implications concerning the packages in VIDCOLL and your application drivers are discussed in DB2 considerations.
