Setting an initial start without operator intervention

About this task

Figure 1 shows the statements required to update the global catalog so that CICS® performs an initial start if START=AUTO is specified.

You could use this job to modify a newly-defined global catalog. This would mean that could retain START=AUTO for all your CICS start jobs, including the first with a new global catalog.

If you use this step to initialize a newly-defined global catalog, you should use the DFHCCUTL utility to initialize the local catalog too. (If you use it to reinitialize an existing global catalog, it is not necessary to initialize the local catalog.) For information about initializing catalog data sets, see Setting up the catalog data sets.
