Updating the CICS ONC RPC definition record

Stabilized feature: CICS® support for Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) is stabilized. Consider exposing and orchestrating applications as API services by using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition or CICS web services, or by writing web applications in Java or Node.js. See also Stabilization notices and discontinued functions.

If you select option 1 on panel DFHRP20, panel DFHRP22 is shown.

The values displayed in the Choice column are those stored in the CICS ONC RPC data set.

After you have made your changes you should press Enter to get them validated. You can then press Enter again to update the CICS ONC RPC data set with the values you have supplied. The next time you start the connection manager, the saved options are used to set up panel DFHRP02

Trace: Specifies whether CICS ONC RPC tracing is active. STARTED (STA) means it is active, STOPPED (STO) means it is not. The default value is STARTED.
CICS ONC RPC exception trace entries are always written to CICS internal trace whatever the setting of this option. To get non-exception trace entries written, CICS trace must be started, and this option must be set to STARTED.
Trace Level: Specifies the trace level for CICS ONC RPC. The value 1 means that level 1 trace points are traced, 2 means that both level 1 and level 2 are traced. The default value is 1.
Resource Checker: YES (Y) means that CICS ONC RPC is to call the user-written resource-checking module on receipt of every incoming RPC request. NO (N) means the resource checker is not to be called. The default is NO.
CRPM Userid: Specifies the CICS user ID under which the server controller is to operate. The default is the default user ID for the CICS system in which CICS ONC RPC is operating.
Automatic Enable: Enter YES (Y) or NO (N). If YES is stored in the CICS ONC RPC data set, you can enable CICS ONC RPC by just typing CRPC; all values are defaulted from the CICS ONC RPC data set, CICS ONC RPC becomes enabled without further user input, and all the 4-tuples with YES for their Register from Data Set option are registered. The default value is NO.
Setting this field has an effect only when you enable CICS ONC RPC. If you save the values to the CICS ONC RPC data set, this value will be effective the next time you enable, unless you override it. The value of this field in the CICS ONC RPC data set may be overridden by the fast path command CRPC E A(N).
