About this task
You can stop CICS IA
from a program list table (PLT) program that is initiated during CICS termination; that is, a program
that is specified in the first part of the program list table shutdown
(PLTSD) list for the CICS region.
Note: If
you choose to start CICS IA
during PLT startup, it is NOT a requirement to stop CICS IA during PLT shutdown.
A
PLTPI program to start the Collector, CIUSTART, is supplied with CICS IA. To
start CICS IA from
the PLT, add the following lines to your PLT startup table:
DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM
DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=CIUSTART
A program list
table shutdown (PLTSD) program to stop the Collector, CIUSTOP, is
supplied with CICS IA. To
stop CICS IA from the PLT:
- Add the following lines to your PLT shutdown table:
DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=CIUSTOP DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM
- Ensure that the definition of the CINT transaction specifies SHUTDOWN(ENABLED).
For definitive information about installing and running PLTPI and PLTSD programs, see the CICS Customization Guide.
