To get CICSĀ® Configuration
Manager to
invoke your exit programs, you need to:
- Specify the programs to be invoked at the chosen exit points.
- Activate the chosen exit points.
- Activate the system option for exit point processing. By default,
this system option is inactive, and CICS Configuration
Manager ignores all exit
programs, regardless of whether their exit points are active or not.
To perform the previous steps, use the CICS Configuration
Manager ISPF dialog:
- On the primary menu, select option 1.7 Exit Points.
- Specify the name of your exit program next to the appropriate
exit point.
The CICS Configuration
Manager server does not
define resource definitions for user exit programs. You must define
these resources yourself, or have CICS autoinstall
them for you.
Before
proceeding, you should confirm that CICS can
define and load the exit program:
- The Program Defined column indicates whether CICS can define the program. For
example, you have defined a PROGRAM resource definition for the program,
or you have implemented program autoinstall.
- The Program Loadable column indicates whether CICS can load the program from the DFHRPL load
library concatenation.
To refresh these column values for the program name that you
have just specified, you must exit and then re-enter the panel:
- Press the Exit key
(F3) to exit
the panel. Then re-enter the panel.
- Check the Program Defined and Program Loadable
columns: both should show Y ("Yes").
Do not proceed to the
next step until both of these columns show Y. For details on making
programs available to CICS,
see the CICS Transaction
Server for z/OSĀ® documentation.
- Enter / next to the exit point.
This
activates the exit point. However, CICS Configuration
Manager only performs exit
point processing if the associated system option is active.
- Press the Exit key
(F3) to exit
the panel.
- Go to primary menu option 1.1 System Options.
- Activate exit point processing.
If the system option for exit
point processing is active, then for any active exit points, CICS Configuration
Manager invokes the nominated
exit program at the appropriate point.
