Communication Components

An ID (RECEIVERID) is defined at both ends of the program-to-program interface, so CICS Automation knows which NetView to sign on to.

This RECEIVERID is contained in the initialization members described above. The VTAM® applid is used by CICS® to sign on to the program-to-program interface. NetView determines which applid relates to which subsystem from the APPLid field of the CICS CONTROL policy item.

The CICS Automation program-to-program interface cannot function if the RECEIVERIDs in the initialization members do not match, or if the VTAM applid of the APPLid field of the CICS CONTROL policy item does not match the VTAM applid. The customization sections describe how to define the RECEIVERID and the VTAM applid.
