CREATE DB2TRAN

Description

The CREATE DB2TRAN command installs a DB2TRAN definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. If there is already a DB2TRAN with the name you specify in the local CICS® region, the new definition replaces the old one; if not, the new definition is added. If there is already a DB2TRAN in the local CICS region that specifies the same TRANSID, the command fails, as each transaction can only have one DB2TRAN definition.

A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE DB2TRAN processing, except when an exception condition is detected early in processing the command. Uncommitted changes to recoverable resources made up to that point in the task are committed if the CREATE executes successfully, and rolled back if not.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)

specifies the attributes of the DB2TRAN being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in DB2TRAN attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and DB2TRAN definition attributes for details about specific attributes.

Note: You can assign default values for all attributes of a DB2TRAN definition by specifying an ATTRLEN value of 0. You still need to specify the ATTRIBUTES option, however, even though its value is not used.

ATTRLEN(data-value)

specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length can be from 0 to 32767.

DB2TRAN(data-value)

specifies the 8-character name of the DB2TRAN definition to be added to the CICS region.

LOGMESSAGE(cvda)

Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:

LOG

The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.

NOLOG

The resource attributes are not logged.

Conditions

ILLOGIC

RESP2 values:

2

The command cannot be executed because an earlier CONNECTION or TERMINAL pool definition has not yet been completed.

INVREQ

RESP2 values:

n

There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for EXEC CICS CREATE and EXEC CICS CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.

7

The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.

200

The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.

LENGERR

RESP2 values:

1

The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.

NOTAUTH

RESP2 values:

100

The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.

101

The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create a DB2TRAN definition and associate it with the names DB2ENTRY.

102

The user associated with the issuing task is not an authorized surrogate of the user specified in the AUTHID parameter of the DB2ENTRY named in the DB2TRAN.

103

The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to associate this DB2TRAN with the names DB2ENTRY specifying AUTHTYPE.
