Optional: using the APPLID to identify your CICS TG

Edit online

To identify your CICS® TG to CICS when connecting over IPIC, you can provide your APPLID in the ctg.ini file or specify an APPLIDQUALIFIER and the APPLID.

To provide your APPLID and APPLIDQUALIFIER in the ctg.ini file, specify:

SECTION PRODUCT
    APPLID=MYAPPL
    APPLIDQUALIFIER=MYQUAL
ENDSECTION

If you use an APPLID of MYAPPL and an APPLIDQUALIFIER of MYQUAL, the CICS system log shows the following messages when an IPCONN is installed:

DFHIS3000 .... IPCONN APPL with applid MYQUAL.MYAPPL 
autoinstalled successfully using autoinstall user program DFHISAIP 
and template NONE after a connection request was received on 
tcpipservice SRV50889 from host 1.23.456.789

DFHIS2001 .... Client session from applid MYAPPL accepted for IPCONN 
APPL.

By default, the user replaceable module DFHISAIP uses the last four characters of the incoming CICS TG APPLID as the name of the IPCONN. In this example, the last four characters of MYAPPL are APPL because padded spaces are ignored.

To view the installed IPCONN (APPL), issue the CEMT INQ IPCONN command:

CEMT INQ IPCONN
