For a program-link request to be eligible for dynamic routing,
the remote program must either be defined to the local system as DYNAMIC(YES)
or not be defined to the local system.
Note: If the program specified on an
EXEC CICS LINK command
without a SYSID is not currently defined, what happens next depends
on whether program autoinstall is active:
As well as CICS-to-CICS DPL calls instigated by
EXEC CICS
LINK PROGRAM commands, program-link requests received from
outside CICS® can also be dynamically routed. For example,
all the following types of program-link request can be dynamically
routed:
- Calls from external CICS interface (EXCI) client programs
- External Call Interface (ECI) calls from any of the CICS Client
workstation products
- Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) remote procedure calls
(RPCs)
- ONC/RPC calls.
A program-link request received from outside CICS can
be dynamically routed by:
- Defining the program to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® as
DYNAMIC(YES)
- Coding your dynamic routing program to route the request.
