• DMS/CICS/VS COMPATIBILITY WITH CICS/MVS 3.1
  DMS/CICS/VS MIGRATION TO CICS/ESA 3.1
  
  THIS DOCUMENT GIVES SOME GENERAL GUIDANCE ABOUT MIGRATING
  DMS/CICS/VS RELEASE 1.4.1 TO CICS/ESA 3.1. THE CICS/ESA 3.1
  MIGRATION GUIDE - GC33-0656-99 SHOULD BE REVIEWED BEFORE
  ATTEMPTING MIGRATION.
  THESE GUIDELINES ARE BASED ON MIGRATING FROM CICS/MVS 2.1
  (OR CICS/OS/VS 1.7) AND HAVING DMS/CICS/VS 1.4.1 AT A CURRENT
  MAINTENANCE LEVEL. THIS INFORMATION IS BASED ON OUR FINDINGS
  TO DATE AND WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED.
  
  THE SYSTEM DEFINITION FILE UTILITY PROGRAM DFHCSDUP MAY BE USED
  TO MIGRATE RESOURCE DEFINITIONS FROM A CICS TABLE (FCT, PCT, PPT
   ETC.) TO A CSD (CICS SYSTEM DEFINITION FILE). REFER TO CICS/VS
  3.1 OPERATIONS GUIDE - SC33-0668-99 FOR DETAILED INFORMATION
  ON DFHCSDUP.
  
  THE DMS DISTRIBUTION LIBRARIES CONTAIN THE MACRO DEFINITIONS FOR
  THESE TABLES: ...DMXDSRCE CONTAINS MEMBERS DMXPPTB (PPT'S FOR
  BASE), DMXPPT (PPT'S FOR SAMPLES), DMXPPTF (PPT'S FOR IAG),
  DMXPPTFC (PPT'S FOR IAG WITH 32 LINES PER SCREEN),
  DMXPPTFD (PPT'S FOR IAG WITH 48 LINES PER SCREEN): ...SOURCE.
  SAMPLIB CONTAINS MEMBERS DMXPCTZ (ALL REQUIRED PCT'S), DMXFCTZI
  (FCT'S FOR SAMPLE PROBLEMS AND IAG), DMXFCTZZ (FCT'S FOR SAMPLE
  PROBLEMS ONLY), GENPPTZZ ASSEMBLES PPT'S FOR BASE AND SAMPLES
  AND GENPPTZI ASSEMBLES PPT'S FOR BASE, SAMPLES AND IAG.
  
  ALTHOUGH CICS/ESA 3.1 SUPPORTS ALC MACRO LEVEL CODE THE FORMAT
  OF CICS'S INTERNAL CONTROL BLOCKS (TCA, CSA, ETC.) HAS CHANGED.
  ANY PROGRAM USING DSECTS TO REFERENCE FIELDS IN THESE CONTROL
  BLOCKS WILL NEED TO BE REASSEMBLED. CICS/ESA 3.1 HAS ALSO
  DROPPED SUPPORT OF SOME SYSTEMS PROGRAMMING MACRO FUNCTIONS.
  DMS USES BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS PLUS CHECKS FOR VALID RELEASE
  OF CICS.
  
  THE FOLLOWING APAR'S ARE REQUIRED FOR DMS/CICS/VS TO RUN UNDER
  CICS/ESA 3.1:
    CICS APAR #PL48673 - ALLOW '#' TO BE A VALID CHARACTER FOR
              RESOURCE NAME ON CSD
    DMS APAR #PL62381(PTF #UL75343) - ALLOW CICS/ESA 3.1 TO BE A
             VALID RELEASE LEVEL AND FORCE REASSEMBLY TO PICKUP
             NEW CONTROL BLOCK FORMATS.
  
    TEMPORARY FIX - CHANGE MODULE DMXTI AS FOLLOWS:
            CLI   CSACIREL,X'31'        / /  10686200
      THIS CHANGE REQUIRES APAR PL19892. IF PL19892 HAS NOT BEEN
      APPLIED, THIS CHANGE IS NOT REQUIRED.
      FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF MODULES THAT REQUIRE ASSEMBLY AND
      LINK EDIT: (CICS MACRO ASSEMBLER)
  DMXA1TRC  DMXBP    DMXCA    DMXCE    DMXCM    DMXDBPR
  DMXDBUG   DMXDC    DMXDLI   DMXDQDP  DMXDR    DMXEDIT
  DMXFM     DMXFS    DMXINT   DMXMC    DMXMW    DMXPC
  DMXPF     DMXSK    DMXSM    DMXSP    DMXST    DMXTI
  DMXTM     DMXTMQ   DMXTRES  DMXVALID
  THE FOLLOWING MODULES ARE COMMAND LEVEL ASSEMBLER:
  DMXDM     DMXUNLCK DMXVP
    DMS APAR #PL62384(PTF #UL75325) - REMOVE DFHFC TYPE=LOCATE
             FROM IAG MODULE DMXA101.
      TEMPORARY FIX - CHANGE MODULE DMXA101 AS FOLLOWS:
      CC 1                                           SEQ #
      *        DFHFC CTYPE=LOCATE       //        14200001
      *        BZ    NOTFOUND           //        15100001
      *        TM    FCTDSVR3,FCTDSRBM  //        15700000
      *        BO    PASSWDOK           //        15800001
      *        BNO   ASLCLOSE           //        16000001
      *        L     R1,PWPTR(R1)       //        16200002
      *        LTR   R1,R1              //        16300002
      *        BZ    PASSWDOK           //        16400002
               B     PASSWDOK           //        16410002
  
      THE ABOVE CHANGE WILL BYPASS THE IAG/ASL PASSWORD CHECKING.
      IT IS INTENDED AS A TEMPORARY FIX TO ALLOW TESTING AND
      SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED TO A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT
      PROPER SECURITY CONSIDERATION. THIS CHANGE WILL DISABLE
      ONLY DMS ASL/IAG SECURITY OTHER NON-DMS SECURITY WILL
      BE UNAFFECTED BY THE CHANGE.
      FOR A LIST AS MODULES REQUIRING REASSEMBLY FOR DMS/FEATURE
      REFER TO ...DMXDSRCE(DMXPPTF). TABLE ENTRIES (DMX#...) AND
      PANELS (DMXM...) DO NOT NEED RE-ASSEMBLY.
  
  NOTE: THIS MIGRATION WILL ONLY ALLOW DMS TO RUN UNDER CICS/ESA
        3.1 IT DOES NOT USE ANY NEW FEATURES AND MUST RUN BELOW
        THE 16M LINE.
