CEMT SET PROCESSTYPE

Change the attributes of a CICS® business transaction services process-type.

In the CICS Explorer, the Process Types view provides a functional equivalent to this command.

Description

SET PROCESSTYPE enables you to change the current state of audit logging and the enablement status of BTS PROCESSTYPE definitions installed on this CICS region.

Note: Process-types are defined in the process-type table (PTT). CICS uses the entries in this table to maintain its records of processes (and their constituent activities) on external data sets. If you are using BTS in a single CICS region, you can freely use the SET PROCESSTYPE command to modify your process-types. However, if you are using BTS in a CICSplex, it is strongly recommended that you use CICSPlex SM to make such changes. This is because it is essential to keep resource definitions in step with each other, across the CICSplex.
