CICS implementation of control operator verbs
CICS® supports control operator verbs in a variety of ways.
Some verbs are supported by the CICS main terminal
transaction CEMT. The relevant CEMT commands are:
- CEMT INQUIRE CONNECTION
- CEMT SET CONNECTION
- CEMT INQUIRE MODENAME
- CEMT SET MODENAME
Tip: In CICS Explorer®, the ISC/MRO connections operations view provides a functional equivalent to the INQUIRE and SET CONNECTION commands. See ISC/MRO Connections view in the CICS Explorer product documentation.
CEMT is normally entered by an operator at a display device. It is described in CEMT - main terminal.
The inquire and set operations for connections and modenames are
also available at the CICS SPI,
using the following commands:
- EXEC CICS INQUIRE CONNECTION
- EXEC CICS SET CONNECTION
- EXEC CICS INQUIRE MODENAME
- EXEC CICS SET MODENAME
Programming information about these commands is given in INQUIRE CONNECTION.
Some control operator verbs are supported by CICS resource definition. The definition of APPC links is described in Defining APPC links.
You can change some CONNECTION and SESSION attributes while CICS is running by discarding the resource and creating a new one.
