Checks on definitions of DB2 entry resources

When you define a DB2ENTRY, CICS checks for consistency with other resource definitions in the same group or list.

For a DB2ENTRY object, the following checks are made:
  • That two DB2ENTRYs of the same name do not appear in the same list. If they do, a warning message is issued.
  • That a DB2CONN exists in the group or list. If one does not, a warning message is issued. This may not be an error because the DB2CONN may exist in another group elsewhere, but a DB2CONN must be installed before a DB2ENTRY can be installed.
  • Whether a transaction resource definition exists for TRANSID in the group or list if TRANSID has been specified on the DB2ENTRY. If it does not, a warning message is issued.
  • Whether PLANEXITNAME exists as a program definition in the group or list if PLANEXITNAME has been specified, and program autoinstall is not active.
