Changed API commands in CICS TS 4.2

These API commands were extended or changed in CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 4 Release 2.

QUERY SECURITY

The QUERY SECURITY command is changed to include a new resource type of EPADAPTER.

For more information, see QUERY SECURITY.

SIGNON

The SIGNON command is changed to support password phrases as well as standard passwords.

For more information, see SIGNON.

WRITEQ TS

The MAIN and AUXILIARY options on the WRITEQ TS command have been enhanced with IPIC support for function-shipped requests between CICS TS 4.2 regions or later. Previously, the MAIN and AUXILIARY options were supported only by using the multiregion operation (MRO) facility. APPC does not support the MAIN and AUXILIARY options. Temporary storage queues (TSQs) created as a result of function shipping WRITEQ TS using APPC are stored in auxiliary storage.

For more information, see WRITEQ TS.
