Autoinstall of connections is particularly useful when dealing with many
similar connections or when you are unsure of the LU names (netnames) to be
used. To
configure autoinstall of connection definitions:
- Update the default autoinstall program from DFHZATDX to DFHZATDY, by specifying
the SIT parameter AIEXIT=DFHZATDY. Alternatively, write your own autoinstall
user-replaceable module based on the samples provided.
- Configure model definitions. The supplied DFHZATDY autoinstall program
uses the template CBPS. CBPS is supplied in DFHAI62 group; copy it to your
own group and modify it accordingly. The parameters in the connection definition
template are the same as for a static definition (see Defining the location of the remote system),
except that the netname is not needed.
The parameters for the sessions
definition are the same as those listed in Defining CICS sessions,
except that the Connection parameter must refer to the CBPS connection definition.
If you use the supplied connection autoinstall program (DFHZATDY), the
connection name generated is based on the last four characters of the Netname.
To change the connection name, create your own user-replaceable
module from the sample provided in CICSTS22.CICS.SDFHSAMP.
