Starting and stopping CICS IA from the PLT

You can start CICS® IA from a program list table (PLT) program initiated during the third stage of CICS initialization; that is, a program specified in the second part of the program list table post initialization (PLTPI) list for the CICS region.

About this task

A PLTPI program to start the Collector, CIUSTART, is supplied with CICS IA. To start CICS IA from the PLT, add the following 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:
  1. Add the following to your PLT shutdown table:
    DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=CIUSTOP
    DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM
  2. Ensure that the definition of the CINT transaction specifies SHUTDOWN(ENABLED).
