SESSDEF Record
Fields
String)
The name of the CSD group for this CICS resource definition. This field is ignored for BAS definitions.
String)
Specifies how connections are to be established.
For a APPC VTAM-connected system that has Autoconnect set to YES or ALL on the connection definition:
- NO - CICS does not attempt to bind any sessions when the connection is established.
- YES or ALL - A contention-winner session is established (that is, BIND is performed) during CICS initialization, or when communication with VTAM is started using the CEMT SET VTAM OPEN command.
For a APPC VTAM-connected system that has Autoconnect set to NO on the CONNECTION definition:
- ALL - All sessions, not just contention winners, are established when the connection is acquired by issuing CEMT SET CONNECTION(name) ACQUIRED, or when the remote system itself initiates communication.
- NO - CICS does not attempt to bind any sessions when the connection is established.
- YES - Contention-winner sessions are established when the connection is acquired by issuing CEMT SET CONNECTION(sysid) ACQUIRED, or when the remote system itself initiates communication
For LU6.1 sessions:
- NO - The connection is not established at initialization or CEDA install.
- YES - The connection is established at initialization or CEDA install.
String)
Specifies whether CICS is to perform chain assembly before passing the input data to the application program:
- NO - Any terminal input/output area (TIOA) received by an application program from this logical unit contains one request unit (RU).
- YES - Any TIOA received by an application program from this logical unit contains a complete chain.
String)
The change agent identifier that made the last modification.
- CSDAPI - The resource was last changed by a CEDA transaction, by the programmable interface to DFHEDAP or by an EXEC CICS CSD command.
- CSDBATCH - The resource was last changed by a DFHCSDUP job.
- DREPAPI - Resource was last changed by a CICSPlex SM API command.
String)
The CICS release level of the agent that made the last modification.
String)
The local date and time when the definition was last changed.
String)
The user ID that made the last modification.
String)
The name of the connection definition to be used with this session definition. The name can be up to four characters in length.
String)
The local date and time when the definition was created.
Long)
The code page of the description field. This field is ignored for CICS CSD resource definitions.
String)
A description of the session definition.
String)
Specifies whether disconnect requests are to be honored. DISCREQ applies to LUTYPE6.1 ISC sessions, but not to MRO sessions where CICS is not dealing with VTAM devices.

References to this SESSDEF from CSDINGRP, by the attributes 'csdgroup', 'defname', 'deftype'.
RESINGRPRecordsType!)
References to this SESSDEF from RESINGRP, by the attributes 'definitionName', 'definitionType', 'definitionVersion'.
Long)
The minimum size, in bytes, of the terminal input/output area to be used for processing messages transmitted on the MRO link.
Long)
The length, in bytes, of the terminal input/output area to be used for processing messages transmitted on the MRO link. If the alternative TIOA value is not specified, or is less than the minimum TIOA value (IOAREALEN) , it defaults to the value of the minimum TIOA.
Long)
The maximum number of sessions that are to be supported as contention winners. This value can be in the range 0 to 999. The default is 0. Note that this operand has no meaning for a single session connection. This value must be less than the maximum number of sessions in the group (MAXINGRP).
Long)
The maximum number of sessions in the group. This value can be in the range 1 through 999. The default is 1. This value must be more than the maximum number of contention winner sessions (MAXTWIN).
String)
The name that identifies a group of sessions for use on an APPC connection. The name can be up to eight characters in length, and must be the name of a VTAM LOGMODE entry defined to VTAM (APPC only).
String)
The name of the session definition.
Long)
The transaction class for the node error program:
- 0 - This results in a link to the default node error program module.
- value - The transaction class for the node error program module. The value can be in the range 1 through 255 If you leave these fields blank, CICSPlex SM uses the default values for your CICS environment, if there are any.
String)
The name by which the remote IMS system knows this particular session. This is used for CICS-IMS sessions.
String)
The type of protocol that is to be used for an intercommunication link (ISC or MRO):
- APPC (LUTYPE6.2) - Advanced program-to-program communication (APPC) protocol. Specify this for CICS-CICS ISC.
- EXCI - The external CICS interface. Specify this to indicate that the sessions are for use by a non-CICS client program using the external CICS interface. If you specify EXCI, you must leave SENDCOUNT blank.
- LU61 - LUTYPE6.1 protocol.
- NOTAPPLIC - The session does not represent an intercommunication link.
Long)
For MRO, and VTAM LU6.1 sessions, and for sessions with EXCI clients, specifies the number of sessions that normally receive before sending.
String)
A 1-or 2-character prefix that CICS is to use as the first one or two characters of the receive session names (the names of the terminal control table terminal entries (TCTTEs) for the sessions).
Long)
The maximum VTAM request unit (RU) size that the session is capable of receiving. The value must be between 1 and 30720 for LU61 sessions, or 256 and 30720 for APPC sessions. The default is 4096.
String)
Specifies the type of recovery for sessions in a CICS region running with VTAM persistent sessions.
String)
Specifies whether CICS is to release the logical unit upon request by another VTAM application program.
Long)
For MRO, and VTAM LU6.1 sessions, and for sessions with EXCI clients, specifies the number of send sessions; that is, sessions that normally send before receiving.
String)
A 1-or 2-character prefix that CICS is to use as the first one or two characters of the send session names (the names of the terminal control table terminal entries (TCTTEs) for the sessions). The prefix you select must not result in any duplicate session or terminal names.
Long)
The maximum VTAM request unit (RU) size that these sessions are capable of sending, in the range 1 through 30720 for LU 6.1 sessions, or 256 through 30720 for APPC sessions.
String)
The symbolic identification to be used as the local half of a session qualifier pair in a CICS intercommunication parallel session. The name can be up to four characters in length.
Long)
The terminal priority - this decimal value (0 through 255) is used in establishing the overall transaction processing priority. (Transaction processing priority is equal to the sum of the terminal priority, transaction priority, and operator priority; this must not exceed 255.) If you leave this field blank, CICSPlex SM uses the default value for your CICS environment, if there is one.
Long)
The length, in bytes, of the user area for this session, in the range 0 through 255. If you leave this field blank, CICSPlex SM uses the default value for your CICS environment, if there is one.
String)
Optional string of up to 8 characters that allows you to provide additional site-specific data related to the BAS resource definition. This field is ignored for CICS CSD resource definitions.

String)
Optional string of up to 8 characters that allows you to provide additional site-specific data related to the BAS resource definition. This field is ignored for CICS CSD resource definitions.
String)
A user identifier used for sign-on (SEC=YES or MIGRATE) and referred to in security error messages, security violation messages, and the audit trail. The name can be up to eight characters in length.
Long)
The version number of the BAS resource definition, from 1 to 15. This field is ignored for CICS CSD resource definitions.
