Configuring the default CD entry

The default CD entry "", as shown in Table 1 is used as a template for autoinstalled CD entries. Therefore, it is important that it contains the attributes that you want to be assigned to autoinstalled CD entries. You can view the current settings of the default CD entry by using the cicsget command.

 
  cicsget -c cd -r cicsunix ""
 
  GroupName=""
  ActivateOnStartUp=yes
  ResourceDescription="Communications Definition"
  AmendCounter=0
  Permanent=no
  ConnectionType=local_sna
  RemoteLUName=""
  RemoteNetworkName=""
  SNAConnectName=""
  GatewayName=""
  ListenerName=""
  RemoteTCPAddress=""
  RemoteTCPPort=""
  AllocateTimeout=0
  RemoteCodePageTR="ISO8859-1"
  InService=yes
  OutboundUserIds=sent
  RemoteSysSecurity=local
  LinkUserId=""
  TSLKeyMask=none
  RSLKeyMask=none
  RemoteSysEncrypt=none
  DefaultSNAModeName=""

Use the information that is given in Table 1 and Table 1 to determine which attributes need changing. The RemoteCodePageTR attribute often needs changing in a DBCS environment. The following sections explain which CD attributes are important for each type of connection:

When you have determined which values you require for the default CD entry, use the cicsupdate command to change the attributes. For example, to change the LinkUserId attribute in the default CD entry:

% cicsupdate -c cd -r cicsunix "" LinkUserId="LINKAUTO"

When the required attributes are set in the default CD entry, restart your region to allow it to read the new values.
