CICS_EpiATIState | TermIndex |
The CICS_EpiATIState function allows the calling application to query and alter the way in which ATI requests for a terminal resource are handled. If ATI requests are enabled (CICS_EPI_ATI_ON) and an ATI request is issued in the server, the request is started when the terminal resource becomes free. If ATI requests are held (CICS_EPI_ATI_HOLD), any ATI requests issued are queued, and started when ATI requests are next enabled.
The state for ATI requests after a CICS_EpiAddTerminal call is CICS_EPI_ATI_HOLD. The EPI application may change the state to CICS_EPI_ATI_ON when it is ready to allow ATI requests to be processed. (The server also maintains a ATI state for terminal resources, which is independent of the ATI state maintained in the EPI. Changes to the ATI state on the server do not affect the ATI status in the EPI.)
The EPI uses this parameter only for input.
