Chapter 5 Installing the Service Gateway for CICS : Testing the Software

Testing the Software
Starting the Service Gateway for CICS
CICS PLTPI is used to start the Service Gateway for CICS automatically at CICS startup; however, you can start Service Gateway for CICS independently of CICS startup using the HINT transaction. You can run it from a user terminal or system console. Valid parameters for HINT, which can be specified in any order, are as follows:
 
Defines the name of the installation library. It is the TIBCO Object Service Broker library to be searched after the local library and before the system library (depending on the search path) to locate TIBCO Object Service Broker rules.
Defines the system library. It is the library to be searched after the installation library (depending on the search path) to locate rules.
A sample invocation of the HINT transaction is:
HINT TDS=EP01SRV,INSTLIB=BANK03
Shutting Down the Service Gateway for CICS
CICS PLTSD is used to shut down the Service Gateway for CICS automatically at CICS shutdown. To perform an orderly shutdown, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the HINQ transaction to determine the number of users logged in to TIBCO Object Service Broker.
2.
Alternatively, use the HTRM SHUT or HTRM SHUTI transaction to shut down Service Gateway for CICS without shutting down CICS.
Enabling Printing From CICS
To print output from CICS, modify the @SCHEDULEMODEL(MVS,SPOOLSTRIP) table instance as explained in Customization of the TIBCO Object Service Broker @SCHEDULEMODEL Table.
Do not use the name S6BDRPRT for a print destination in the JES complex. S6BDRPRT is the name of the offline print utility that handles the generation and printing of output from the Native Execution Environment and CICS. It runs the SPOOLSTRIP job, which does not operate correctly if the print destination is set to S6BDRPRT.
