Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of CICS BAC V1.1.1 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Add support for CICS Batch Application * * Control to run with CICS TS V5.4 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF. * **************************************************************** This fix adds support to CICS Batch Application Control to run with CICS TS V5.4 The following documentation change will be made to the CICS BAC User's Guide as described below: Documentation changes to the CICS TS 5.4 Knowledge Center --------------------------------------------------------- In the CICS TS 5.4 Knowledge Center; CICS Batch Application Control for z/OS V1.1.1; User Guide -> Implementation and customization -> Setting up and starting the CICS component -> Preparing CICS regions for CICS BAC -> CICS BAC program and mapset definitions; in the notes below Figure 4 "CEDA commands to define the CBK programs and mapset in your CSD": Additional text is added to note 1. At the end of the second sentence, add the following text: "or 71 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 5.4 region." The note should now read: 1. In the CEDA commands shown in Figure 4, replace cbkgroup with any character string allowed by the CEDA transaction that meets your installation standards. Replace the nn in the program names CBKFSXnn and CBKSPXnn with 53 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 1.3 region; 62 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 2.2 region; 63 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 2.3 region; 64 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 3.1 region; 65 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 3.2 region; 66 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 4.1 region; 67 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 4.2 region; 68 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 5.1 region; 69 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 5.2 region; 70 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 5.3 region; or 71 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 5.4 region. You can also define the programs for all these CICS releases if you want to. 1. This PTF adds 2 new load modules to the SCBKLOAD library. Before applying the PTF you should ensure that the SCBKLOAD library has at least 18 directory blocks. 2. There are two new programs CBKFSX71 and CBKSPX71 for which program definitions are required in the CICS region where CICS BAC runs. The resource definitions for these programs are in member CBKPROGS in the SCBKSAMP library. They are marked with the APAR number PI81758. Please ensure that you add these additional resource definitions to your CICS system. Although these new programs and definitions are only required in a CICS TS 5.4 environment, you are advised to add the definitions to CICS regions running other releases of CICS TS so that they will be available if and when you migrate the regions to CICS TS 5.4.
Problem conclusion
CICS Batch Application Control base code has been enhanced to run with CICS TS V5.4. 111Y CBKAPARS CBKCMNDS CBKFSX71 CBKGSE71 CBKSPX71 HCBK111J
