Defining CICS threads

Every CICS® transaction that accesses Db2 requires a thread to service the Db2 requests. Each thread uses one z/OS® subtask to execute Db2 code for the CICS application.

About this task

The DSNC STRT command starts the CICS Db2 attachment facility, which allows CICS application programs to access Db2 databases.

Threads are created at the first Db2 request from the application if one is not already available for the specific Db2 plan.
