    CICS 22-02-2010

    CICS( customer information control system)

    Or

    OLTP(On-line transaction processing )

    Online processing:

    a) Screen based interactive system


    b) Only small range of data processing can be done
    c) Programs run through (tso)
    d)Online system is a system environment where many transactions run concurrently.

    Batch Processing:

    a) non-screen based interactive system


    b) large amount of data processing can be done
    c) program runs through cics
    d) Batch system is a system environment where jobs run one by one in a sequence

    some important points regarding CICS

    a)CICS for programmers is nothing but the screen that is used to receive and to send data
    from terminal to RDBMS and VSAM

    b) but actually CICS is mini operating system

    c)it handles multiple program execution at a time

    d)earlier CICS was macro level but now command level CICS is available

    e)CICS is data base/ data communication control system but IMS is data base control
    system it means (IMS cannot be linked with any databases or any access methods

    f)it handles data related activities like reading,writing,deleting etc

    g)in CICS screen formats need not to be described in the program


    Major components that are in cics

    a) data communication component


    b) data service component
    c) application service component
    d) distributed service component

    data communication component

    it takes care of sending and receving of data form terminal to the sreen
    that is mainly called as VTAM(virtual telecommunication method)

    it takes care of MRO(multi region operaton )

    it takes care of Inter System Communication)

    data service component

    it interacts with data

    it interacts with relational data base management system like db2

    it interacts with virtual access methods like KSDS,ESDS,RRDS etc

    application service component

    it handles multiple program execution at a time

    it provides the facility of CEDF(execution diagnostic facility) that is nothing but the
    debugging of the cics commands that are used in the program

    it also provides CECI(cics command interprutter) that is nothing but the pre-testing of the
    cics commands that are used in the program

    distributed service component

    it interacts with other subsystems

    CICS tabels
    there are about 40 to 50 tabels are available in CICS in that few of them which are
    frequently used by the CICS administrator and programmers are

    a) PPT(program processing table)


    b) PCT (program control table)
    c) RCT (resource control table)
    d) FCT(file control tabel0
    e) DCT(destination control table)
    f) SNT(sign-on table)
    g) TST(temporary storage table)
    h) TCT(terminal control table)

    PPT table : information about all the programs and mapset should be entered in ppt table
    for execution of the cics programs

    Parameters in ppt are

    a)name of the program/mapset


    b)group name
    c)threats(how many programs can be used at a time)

    PCT table : information about all the cics transaction should be entered in PCT table

    Parameters in PCT table:

    a)name of the program


    b)transaction id(that is 4 characters)
    c)group name
    d)task request (eg PF1,PF2………)
    e)automatic restart(if transaction or task ends abnormally then use it)
    f)priority

    FCT table: information about all the VSAM files should entered in this table

    Parameters in FCT

    a)file name
    b)program name
    c)group name
    d)orginal dataset name
    e)key length(if it is KSDS)
    f)current status of the dataset
    1)read
    2)write
    3)delete
    4)browse

    DCT table: information about all tdq and tsq should be entered in this table

    a)program name
    b)group name
    c)trigger level(for intera-partation tdq that is for ATI(automatic task initiation)

    RCT table: information about all the db2 tabel should be entered

    a)program name
    b)group name
    c)db2 plan name

    SNT :related to log of log on of the CICS region

    TCT :CICS terminal related issues are related in this TCT

    TST: if any recovery of data form TSQ is required then it is used

    Program related ideas:

    1)Cics + cobol program


    PPT ,PCT, DFHEITVL(translation)

    2) CICS + cobol +map + vasm


    PPT(pgm),PPT(map),PCT,FCT,DFHEITVL,DFHMAPS

    3) CICS + cobol+ db2 + tsq or tdq + maps


    PPT(pgm),PCT(map),DCT,RCT,DFHEITVL,DFHMAPS

    CICS + cobol ----- translation -----load module -----

    MAPS and MAPSETS

    Maps can be created manually and also by using SDF tool (screen definition facility)

    Maps manually can be created by using BMS macros


    These three macros are used to create maps and mapsets

    1) DFHMSD
    2) DFHMDI
    3)DFHMDF

    1)DFHMSD: some of the parameters that are in msd are

    1) TYPE: a)maps(only physical map will be displayed)


    b)&sysparm (both symbolic and physical map will be displayed)
    c)Desect (only symbolic map will be displayed)
    d)Final (it is used during the end of the DFHMSD)

    2) MOD : a)in (it is used only to receive the data from screen)
    b)Out (it is used to send data to the screen )
    c)Inout (it is used both to send and receive data from the screen)

    3) CTRL : a)freekb(to free the keyboard when map is first displayed)


    b)Fset (this is regarding to the attribute byte that is MDT(modified data tag)
    MDT is nothing but the last bit in the attribute byte it indicates
    c)Alarm (when ever map is displayed beep sound will be there)

    4)STORAGE: a)auto(all maps in a mapset will be stored in separate memory and its
    programmers risk to take care about the map related issues)
    b)base:default is base and whole mapset will be stored in single memory)

    5)TIOAPEX(terminal input output area prefix)


    a)yes: symbolic map will take extra 12 bytes of memory for displaying
    and the map will be displayed properly
    b)no : symbolic map will not take extra memory and map will not be
    displayed properly

    6)MAPATTS(color,highlight,outline)
    7)DSATTS(color,hilight,outline)
    8)EXTATT: yes: if it is then only we can use MAPATTS,DSATTS parameter
    9)LANG: cobol ,c,PL/1 etc

    Note: compulsory parameters are TYPE, MOD, LANG

    2)DFHMDI : some of the parameters that are in msd are

    1)SIZE=(24,80) this is the stranded size for a map


    Note we can change the size also but standard size used is 24,80
    2)LINE=1(if the size is 24,80 then the line will be 1 otherwise line value will changes)
    3)COLOUM=1(if the size is 24,80 then the line will be 1 otherwise line value will
    changes)

    Note: all the three parameters are compulsory

    3)DFHMDF: some of the parameters that are in msd are

    1)POS=(line,coloum) (where actually the value to be inserted )


    2)LENGTH=nn(length of that specific variable)
    3)ATTRB=(frset,num,)
    4)COLOR=(this is related to CICs region we are using)
    5)HIGLIGHT=( this is related to CICs region we are using)
    6)OUTLIN=(above,right,left,below,box)
    7)JUSTIFY=(right,left)
    8)INITIAL=’ nnnn nn ‘(initial value want to be displayed )

    Note: compulsory parameters are POS, LENGTH,ATTRB

    By using these three parameters we can create map and mapset and once map is created it
    should be compiled with DFHMAPS and then it can be used for further process

    Once the map is created we can move on to programming logics and table entries

    PSEUDO CONVERSATION :

    Any CICS program can communicate with a pair of send and receive commands
    In between that send and receive command the resource held by the program is released
    and once again the program restarts from procedure division this is pseudo conversation
    (And the resource may be TSQ,TDQ,VSAM,DB2 tabels etc)

    NOTE : all the load modules and copy members are stored in the cics terminal itself

    And uses the single copy of load module for execution of more than one program but for
    every program there will be separate task because every program uses separate data
    hence task will be different

    PHYSICAL MAP: the load module of the entire map itself is the physical map

    SYMBOLIC MAP : copy members of the map variables that are used in the program

    All symbolic map consists of some important variables up to now i come across only few
    variables some of them are
    Input : depends on the screen variables
    Output depends on the screen variables
    Attribute 1 byte
    Flag 1 byte
    Length s9(4) comp

    Input variables are used to get data from the screen


    Output variables are used to send the data to the screen
    Attribute variables are used to change to maintain the characterstics of the map variables
    Length variable is used for cursor positioning and also to do get or find the value
    changed during in the map send or receive command
