SAS/C Software: Changes and Enhancements, Release 6.50

CICS Setup Requirements

CICS has the same APPC setup requirements as MVS, and these additional requirements:

CICS requires an ACF/VTAM APPL definition for its own APPC use.
CICS requires a logon mode table named SNASVCMG.
CICS requires a SNASVCMG session definition for its LU services manager.

These definitions are reserved for CICS itself and cannot be used by any other applications, including the remote debugger.

In addition to the requirements above, you must also define the following CICS resources using macro-level definitions or the appropriate Resource Definition Online (CEDA) screen:

The remote debugger LU ( _DB_LU environment variable) must be defined as a CICS CONNECTION resource.
The mode table used by the client program to connect to the remote debugger ( _DB_MODE environment variable) must be defined as a CICS SESSION resource.

Use the CEDA DEFINE CONNECTION screen, shown in DEFINE CONNECTION screen , to define the remote debugger LU.

DEFINE CONNECTION screen

Use the CEDA DEFINE SESSION screen, shown in DEFINE SESSION screen , to define the client program mode table.

For details on configuring CICS for use with APPC, refer to the IBM publication CICS/ESA Intercommunication Guide, V3/R3 (SC33-0657-02). Also see CICS/ESA Resource Definition (Online), V3/R3 (SC33-0666-02).
