How CICS builds the list of autoinstall models

CICS® builds the list of autoinstall models by selecting from its complete list of terminal models those models that define console devices.

The complete list of autoinstall models available to CICS at any time comprises all the definitions with AUTINSTMODEL(YES) and AUTINSTMODEL(ONLY) that are installed, and which reference a TYPETERM definition that specifies DEVICE(CONSOLE).

If CICS cannot find a model for consoles, it issues message DFHZC6902. If the return code in the area addressed by fullword 4 of the parameter list is nonzero, CICS issues error message DFHZC6987.

You can obtain a list of autoinstall model definitions by using the CICS Explorer® Regions operations view, CEMT, or EXEC CICS INQUIRE AUTINSTMODEL commands.
