You can access this panel by entering CICS in the Recipe Details panel. For details, see Recipe Details Panel.

Field Description

The following table lists the fields in the CICS Service Details panel:

Field Description
Recipe Identifier The name of the recipe.
Resource Name The name of the resource.
Method of Invocation The method used to initiate the transformation that is being configured.
Method of Reply This field indicates whether data is expected to be output from the transaction processing the application.
Mirror Transaction A CICS-specific field used to invoke different transactions for Substation ES to CICS communications during run time. The following are typical usages of the mirror transaction:
  • Substation ES uses transaction SXEX by default that passes data by way of the COMMAREA to programs compiled with AMODE(ANY). In this way, data that is passed to CICS programs can use the desired method CICS extended storage.
  • Substation ES uses transaction SXBX by default that passes data by way of the COMMAREA to programs compiled with AMODE(24). Transaction SXBX has been supplied during Substation ES installation so that older programs compiled with AMODE(24) can access data below the 16 M storage line.
  • If different security options for transactions are required, you can specify a mirror transaction per invocation of the CICS resource without complicating RACF/ACF2 definitions.
CSMI User Transaction You can specify whether this is a CSMI user transaction.

Default selection: N (no).

Channel Name The name of the channel to be set when container data input and output is used.

Default value: SXCOSRVGCHANNEL.

Single CTN Name The name of the container to be set when single container input and output is used.

The default value is the resource name.

Container Invocation The method of container invocation:
  • P: for a program link.
  • T: to start a transaction in CICS.

Default value: P.

Container Process The type of container:
  • S: for single container
  • M: for multiple containers, driven by message fields. The number of containers is determined by message fields.

Default value: S

FWD Destination Names If this parameter is enabled and the process has multiple containers without conversion rules, then Substation ES creates two additional containers named tibss-ListenTo and tibss-ReplyTo, and sends them to CICS. These containers contain the corresponding destination or subject names of this service.
Transaction Id A four-character transaction identifier responsible for running the program on the remote CICS system.
Only the following MOIs are supported:
  • 9 DPL MRO
  • 10 Container
  • 12 DPL TSQ
System Name A four-character system identifier for the CICS region where the program will be run. This is referred to as the SYSID in CICS terms.
Only the following MOIs are supported:
  • 9 DPL MRO
  • 10 Container
  • 12 DPL TSQ
Resource N You can specify two to five additional resources. Each of these fields can indicate an additional resource name for special CICS execution.
