CEMT SET AUTOINSTALL

Change attributes that control the automatic installation (autoinstall) of z/OS® Communications Server terminals, APPC connections, virtual terminals (bridge facilities) used by the 3270 bridge mechanism, and MVS™ consoles.

In the CICS Explorer, the Regions operations view provides a functional equivalent to this command.

Description

You can use the CEMT SET AUTOINSTALL command to change values that control autoinstall. For information about autoinstall, see Autoinstall.

Syntax

Press the Clear key to clear the screen. You can start this transaction in two ways:
  • Type CEMT SET AUTOINSTALL (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords). The resulting display lists the current status, similar to that obtained by using the CEMT INQUIRE AUTOINSTALL command. You can tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype them with the required values.
  • Type CEMT SET AUTOINSTALL (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords), followed by one or more attribute settings that you want to change. For example, CEMT S AUT M(NEWVALUE P(NEWNAME) resets the values for maximum number of requests for a new program.

Typing ? at the beginning of either the first or second line gives a syntax prompt. Resetting the values takes effect immediately.

Options

AIBRIDGE
Specifies whether the autoinstall user replaceable module (URM) is to be called for bridge facilities. The values are as follows:
AUTOTERMID
Bridge facilities are to be defined automatically by CICS®. The autoinstall URM is not to be called.
URMTERMID
The autoinstall URM is to be called.
CONSOLES
Specifies whether CICS autoinstalls an MVS console device when it receives an MVS MODIFY command from a console that is not defined.
PROGAUTO
MVS consoles are autoinstalled, and CICS calls the user autoinstall control program to obtain the termid and other user-specified information.
FULLAUTO
MVS consoles are autoinstalled by CICS automatically, without calling the user autoinstall control program. CICS assigns the termid for the console automatically, using the ¬ (logical not) symbol as the first character.
NOAUTO
Autoinstall for consoles is not allowed.
MAXREQS (value)
Specifies the largest number of autoinstall requests that are allowed to queue at one time, in the range 0 - 999.

You can prevent more terminals from logging on through autoinstall by setting this value to 0. This allows autoinstalled entries for terminals currently logged on to be deleted by the autoinstall program when they log off.

PROGRAM (value)
Specifies the name of the user program that controls the autoinstall process. A default program is supplied.
