CICS PCT - pct_name (group_name)

Use this page to create a new PCT.

If you displayed this page by clicking Copy on a previous page, the values on the previous page are used as the basis for the new PCT.

If you displayed this page by clicking New on a previous page, some values on this page are already set to default values.

Click this to save changes you have made to the page, refresh the page and add the new PCT to the group you specify in Grp.

Top

Name

Specify a name for this PCT.

Top

Grp

Choose a group to which this PCT will belong. The list of groups from which you can choose includes only those which can be edited by you.

Top

Description

Specify a description of the transaction program (can be up to 60 characters).

Top

Program Name

For local programs only, specify the name of the application program to be run when this transaction is invoked. Leave this field blank if you enter a value in the remote system ID field.

Can be up to eight characters (A-Z, 0-9, #, @, or $). The name is translated to upper case.

Top

Work Area

Specify the size of the transaction program's Transaction Working Area (TWA) in bytes, in the range 0 through 32767.

Top

Remote SysID

Specify the system ID of the remote system. The name specified must be the same as that given in Name in the SysC or Sys62 definition.

Top

Rmt PCT

Specify the transaction ID of the transaction program on the remote system. You must specify Remote SysID before you can specify a transaction ID.

Can be up to four alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be a letter. Do not use the letter C as the first character; transaction IDs beginning with C are reserved for use by MTO.

Top

Input Timeout

Specify the maximum time in seconds allowed for operator response to an explicit CICS RECEIVE command before this transaction is abended. A value of 0 indicates that there is no timeout.

Top

Use System Value

Check this to use the system wide value for Input Timeout (as shown on the ESMAC Control screen) rather than the PCT entry.

Top

Runaway Timeout

Specify the maximum continuous period of time in seconds that the region will allow this transaction to run without making a CICS, EZASOKET or MQSeries API call. When this time is exceeded, the transaction is abended. A value of 0 indicates that there is no timeout.

Top

Use System Value

Check this to use the system wide value for Runaway Timeout (as shown on the ESMAC Control screen) rather than the PCT entry.

Top

Deadlock Timeout

Specify the maximum time in seconds that the region will permit this transaction to wait for a resource that has been locked by another process. A value of 0 indicates that there is no timeout.

Top

Use System Value

Check this to use the system wide value for Deadlock Timeout (as shown on the ESMAC Control screen) rather than the PCT entry.

Top

Priority

Specify the transaction priority of the transaction program in the range 0 through 255, where 255 is the highest priority.

The priority of a transaction is the sum of:

This sum must not be greater than 255.

Top

Status

Choose a status for the transaction program:

Top

Upper Case, Translate

Check this if you want the transaction program to translate input into upper case

Top

Tracing

Choose the type of tracing to be performed for the transaction program:

Top

Dynamic Route

Check this to have the program status (local or remote) determined dynamically at user invocation time. If this is unchecked, the program status is made local or remote according to the value of System ID.

Top

Security

Use these check boxes to control the way in which resource authorization checks are performed. If they are not checked, the only check performed will be to confirm that the user has authority to run the transaction. If you check RLS (Resource Level Security), Enterprise Server will check the user's authorization for all resources that the transaction accesses (e.g. file access, TDQ, TSQ, LINK, DPL, START and so on). Checking CMD(for Command) will check the authorization on all the EXEC CICS command operations (e.g. EXEC CICS SET/ENABLE/DISABLE).

Note that IBM Category 3 Transactions do not have security checking at all, so the transactions are allowed for everyone with no authorization calls.
