Hi all,

I tried searching for IRCSTRT in this forum and did not find any post. So, i better thought of asking the question.

I want to know what is IRCSTRT stand for in the CICS world. To my knowledge, IRCTC means Inter Region Communication Start. But i really don't know what it is useful for. So, could someone tell me what it is for and how it is used for.

The valid values for this are IRCSTRT(NO, YES), where NO being the default.

Thanks for sharing the information.

Don't you have internet access to IBM?
IRCSTRT={NO|YES}
specifies whether IRC is to be started up at system initialization. If IRCSTRT=YES is not coded, IRC can be initialized by issuing a CEMT or EXEC CICS SET IRC OPEN command.

Wait a sec... you 're installation lets you visit random sites like bulletin boards and thereby rely on 2nd rate, incomplete and often downright incorrect information frequently given by woefully inexperienced users and doesn't let you search manuals or visit authoritative, definitive vendor sites like www.ibm.com? Yikes!! Shocked

(By the way, the links CG gave you tell you what IRCSTRT does... it starts IRC -- they also tell you what IRC is).

Hi
IRCSTART is inter region communication with the help of this you can route another region and execute a transaction.

So for routing (ie) communication between the regions IRC should be in open status.
If you give CEMT I IRC it will show you the status if IRC.

then you can try with following transaction in CICS screen

CRTE SYSID=XXXX

here SYSID implies the sysid of the CICS region you want to route it and this can done only with in same LPAR.
