Benefits of autoinstalling programs

Program autoinstall reduces system administration, virtual storage usage, and, potentially, restart times.

Reduced system administration costs
Without autoinstall, you have to define all new programs, mapsets, and partitionsets to CICS® before they can be used. Autoinstall eliminates this requirement, enabling these resources to be used without prior definition. Furthermore, the need to maintain predefined definitions also disappears, leading to a significant saving in system administration effort.
Saving in virtual storage
There is a saving in virtual storage within the CICS address space, as the definitions of autoinstalled resources do not occupy table space until they are generated.
Faster startup times
