CEMT SET DELETSHIPPED
Change system settings that control the CICS® timeout delete mechanism.
In the CICS Explorer, the Regions operations view provides a functional equivalent to this command.
Syntax
The CICS timeout delete mechanism is invoked at user-specified intervals to remove any shipped terminal definitions that have not been used for longer than a user-specified time.
You can use the SET DELETSHIPPED command to change the values that control the mechanism.
- Type
CEMT SET DELETSHIPPED
(or suitable abbreviations for the keywords). The resulting display lists the current status, similar to that obtained by using the CEMT INQUIRE DELETSHIPPED command. You can tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype them with the required values. - Type
CEMT SET DELETSHIPPED
(or suitable abbreviations for the keywords), followed by one or more attributes that you want to change. For example,cemt s de idl(0150000)
specifies that shipped terminal definitions are to remain installed for at least fifteen hours after they become inactive.
Options
- IDLE(value)
- Specifies,
in the form 0hhmmss+, the minimum time that an inactive shipped terminal
definition must remain installed in this region. When the CICS timeout delete mechanism is
invoked, only those shipped definitions that have been inactive for
longer than this time are deleted.
The time interval can be in the range 00 - 99 hours; 00 - 59 minutes; and 00 - 59 seconds.
At CICS startup, the interval is set to the value specified on the DSHIPIDL system initialization parameter.
- INTERVAL(value)
- Specifies,
in the form 0hhmmss+, the interval between invocations of the CICS timeout delete mechanism.
The timeout delete mechanism removes any shipped terminal definitions
that have not been used for longer than the time specified by the
IDLE option.
The time interval can be in the range 00 - 99 hours; 00 - 59 minutes; and 00 - 59 seconds. If you specify 0, the timeout delete mechanism is not invoked.
At CICS startup, the interval is set to the value specified on the DSHIPINT system initialization parameter. By resetting the interval, you can change the time of day at which a mass delete operation takes place.
Note: The revised interval starts from the time that the command is issued, not from the time that the timeout delete mechanism was last invoked, nor from the time of CICS startup.
