CREATE DB2ENTRY

Define a DB2ENTRY in the local system.

Syntax

Warning: System commands are powerful as they provide information about the state of the system and allow changes to be made to it. System commands should be used only by authorized applications and users.

Activate security checks on commands by specifying the XCMD system initialization parameter and by ensuring that command security checking is active for the transaction (either by specifying CMDSEC(YES) on the TRANSACTION resource definition or by specifying ALWAYS on the CMDSEC system initialization parameter).

NOHANDLE, RESP, and RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations.

Note to COBOL programmers: In the preceding syntax, you must use ATTRIBUTES(data-area) instead of ATTRIBUTES(data-value).

Description

The CREATE DB2ENTRY command installs a DB2ENTRY definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. If there is already a DB2ENTRY with the name you specify in the local CICS® region, the command fails unless the existing DB2ENTRY is disabled, in which case the new definition replaces the old one. If no DB2ENTRY with the name specified exists, the new definition is added.

A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE DB2ENTRY processing, except when an exception condition is detected early in processing the command. Uncommitted changes to recoverable resources made up to that point in the task are committed if the CREATE executes successfully, and rolled back if not.

See Using EXEC CICS CREATE commands to define resources for other general rules that govern CREATE commands.

The CREATE commands are not audited because their actions are recorded by other messages.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)
Specifies the attributes of the DB2ENTRY being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in DB2ENTRY attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and DB2ENTRY resources for details about specific attributes.
Note: You can assign default values for all attributes of a DB2ENTRY definition by specifying an ATTRLEN value of 0. You still need to specify the ATTRIBUTES option, however, even though its value is not used.
ATTRLEN(data-value)
Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length can be from 0 to 32767.
DB2ENTRY(data-value)
Specifies the 8-character name of the DB2ENTRY definition to be added to the CICS region.
LOGMESSAGE(cvda)
Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:
LOG
The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
NOLOG
The resource attributes are not logged.

Conditions

ILLOGIC
RESP2 values:
2
The command cannot be executed because an earlier CONNECTION or TERMINAL pool definition has not yet been completed.
INVREQ
RESP2 values:
n
There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for CREATE and CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.
7
The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.
200
The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.
LENGERR
RESP2 values:
1
The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.
NOTAUTH
RESP2 values:
100
The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
101
The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create a DB2ENTRY definition with this name.
102
The user associated with the issuing task is not an authorized user specified in the AUTHID parameter.
103
The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create this DB2ENTRY with an AUTHTYPE parameter.
