Hi,

We would like to START a Transaction at Morning 7.00 A.M on Business Days.

Please let us know what are the Different ways of doing this.

This Transaction Starts itself for every 2 Mins of Interval of Time Till 6.00 P.M.

Please clarify If CICS is Down during Day after Time in between, How do we Restart the Transaction Or It would Re-start it's Own?.

Is there any way of Defining the Transaction to Run during CICS STARTUP (First Time).

Thank you

Helpme,

My CICS knowledge is a little rusty. so bear with me.I beleive that there are many ways of starting a transaction at 7:00 am on business days

1. If your shop has a schedueling software like CA-7,CONTROL-M schedule a job that starts a task using the batch CICS commands

2. You can trigger a CICS transaction from a batch program or JCL using the EXCI interface.( I answered about this a few days back)

3.You can put a program in the PLT(Program list table) which will issue a START for the target transaction. The list of programs selected for execution during initialization is referred to as the 'PLTPI' list

check this link for a detailed explanation of PLT--program list table

Hi Kolusu,
Thank you.
I have inquired with my CICS Support and they said we can Add the Transaction to the CICS Sequential Reader and the Transaction will durin the CICS START/RESTART.

Please let me know if you have any Idea abt CICS Sequential Reader.
