CDBC - database control menu

Use CDBC to connect CICS to DBCTL, or to disconnect CICS from DBCTL. CDBC is applicable only to CICS systems using the IMS Database Control (DBCTL) interface.

For detailed guidance on using the CDBC transaction with databases controlled by DBCTL, see Overview of Database Control (DBCTL).

You can start CDBC from any terminal, from a card reader/line printer (CRLP) or DASD sequential terminal, or from the operating system console.

There are two ways of starting this transaction:

Type the identifier, CDBC, on the command line of your display, followed by the required keyword, which can be either:
```
  CDBC CONnect [SUFfix(startup)]
```
where startup is a two-digit startup table suffix, or:
```
  CDBC DISconnect [IMMediate]
```

Type the identifier, CDBC, on the command line of your display, and press the ENTER key. You get the following display:

Figure 1. CDBC transaction: initial screen

 CDBC                CICS-DBCTL CONNECTION/DISCONNECTION                  93.259
                                                                        13:33:20

           Select one of the following:

                1 Connection
                2 ORDERLY disconnection
                3 IMMEDIATE disconnection


           Option Selection     ==>
           Startup Table Suffix ==> 00
           DBCTL ID Override    ==>



   Status of the Interface: DFHDB8290I DBCTL not connected to CICS.
               CICS APPLID: IYAHZCD2
                  DBCTL ID:
      Startup Table Suffix:


 PF1 = Help   2 = Refresh   3 = End

As you can see from this display, you can select a CICS-DBCTL connection, an orderly disconnection, or an immediate disconnection.
