CICS CTG 8.1 uniquely named CICS mirror transaction

Question & Answer


Question

I am attempting to use a unique transaction id (XLNB) in place of the CSMI Mirror transaction for my gateway (on the MF) to CICS communication (just one region) over IPIC. I have updated the GATEWAY parms and added the transaction to the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V4.1 region; however, I am getting the same results (CSMI).

The Java app runs on WebSphere and no change has been made to the application. We were asked for the TPNname at the beginning of this project and at that time we asked that they use the default (CSMI). After reading in more detail it appears the application also must be changed. Is that true?

Answer

Yes, TPNName needs be set to XLNB in the ECIRequest in your program.

Please reference CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS 8.1.0 Programming Guide topic ECI and CICS transaction IDs.
