(Optional) Setting up the DB2 (z/OS) Adapter to use the CICS CAF

To use the DB2 (z/OS) Adapter, you will need to set it up to use the CICS® DB/2 Attachment Facility.

You will be updating the CSD. For information about updating the CSD, see the IBM CICS System Definition Guide.

To set up the adapter to use the CICS DB/2 Attachment Facility:

  1. Bind the Data Base Request Module (DBRM).
    See Binding the Data Base Request Module (DBRM).
  2. Create a DB2ENTRY in the CICS CSD for the DBUTILE plan.
  3. Create DB2TRAN entries in the CICS CSD for each CICS transaction that will call the IBM Transformation Extender for Application Programming for the CICS runtime environment and invoke a DB2 map.
  4. Create a DB2TRAN entry in the CICS command line for the DTXI (used for backward compatibility to a previous release) and DTXT transactions.
  5. If your site uses the RCT macro, DSNCRCT, to define the entries for the CICS DB/2 Attachment Facility, you will need to code and assemble the DSNCRCT TYPE=ENTRY macro instruction to add the entry for the DBUTILE plan.
