Update the CSD based on the newest CEECCSD

Description

Each release, Language Environment® adds or deletes load modules in the CICS® system definition (CSD) file. Thus, you should update the file each release using the program definitions found in members CEECCSD and CEECCSDX found in the SCEESAMP data set. The CSD samples provided by Language Environment (CEECCSD and CEECCSDX) at the latest release can be used for systems at earlier releases that can co-exist with this level of z/OS.

Table 1 provides more details about this migration action. Use this information to plan your changes to the system.

Table 1. Information about this migration action
Element or feature: Language Environment.
When change was introduced: General migration action not tied to a specific release.
Applies to migration from: z/OS V2R1 and z/OS V1R13.
Timing: Before the first IPL of z/OS V2R2.
Is the migration action required? Yes, if you use CICS.
Target system hardware requirements: None.
Target system software requirements: CICS.
Other system (coexistence or fallback) requirements: None.
Restrictions: None.
System impacts: Failure to perform this migration action may result in several various program ABENDs, such as ABENDU4093 RC=3EC. Which ABEND you see will depend on which programming language (and which level of the programming language) you are using.
Related IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® check: None.

Steps to take

Update the CSD file using the program definitions in member CEECCSD (and member CEECCSDX if using CICS TS V3 or later) found in the hlq.SCEESAMP data set.

Note: The group containing the Language Environment runtime routines must be in the group list used during CICS startup.
