Task 1—Updating system initialization parameters

The following procedure explains how to update the CICS system initialization parameters:

To update the CICS system initialization parameters, perform the following steps:

1. Choose one of the following options:
   
   • If your installation already has the initialization parameters EXITS=YES and PLTPI=xx in the SIT or in the CICS override PARM, this installation task is not required.
   • Reassemble the SIT.
   • Change the CICS override parameters
2.  Update the following CICS system initialization parameters:
   
   • EXITS=YES
   • PLTPI=xx

To set EXITS=YES

Set EXITS=YES in the DFHSIT.

To set PLTPI=xx

Choose one of the following options:

• If PLTPI=NO, continue to Step 1.
• If PLTPI=xx, you can skip this task and continue with Task 2—Defining Program Resources.

1. If PLTPI=NO, create a DFHPLTxx program as follows:

   DFHPLT TYPE=INITIAL,SUFFIX=xx
   DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=SOPCINIT
   DFHPLT TYPE=FINAL
   END

2. Define the DFHPLTxx program to CICS as follows:
   CEDA DEF PROG(DFHPLTxx) LANG(ASSEMBLER) GROUP(plt)
   CEDA ADD GROUP(plt) LIST(xxx)

   Warning

   Note

   GROUP is a user-selectable parameter. The PLT group should be a group in the startup list. If not, it should be added, as follows:

3. Give the entry a suffix in the system initialization parameters: PLTPI=xx
