|
ECI call type
|
Specifies whether the ECI call type is Synchronous. Synchronous
calls wait for the transaction to complete, then return the contents
of the COMMAREA. Only Synchronous calls are supported.
|
Synchronous is the configured
default.
|
|
CICS Program
|
Specifies the CICS program to be run on the server. Maximum
length is eight characters.
|
A CICS program name, eight characters or less.
|
|
CICS TransId
|
CTG specific. Specifies the ID of a CICS transaction. Maximum
length is four characters. Attributes are dependent upon the value
set for Use TransId as ECI_TPN,
as follows:
-
If EciTPN is set
to FALSE, the value of the transid
is stored in EIBTRNID for the duration of the LINK to the program
specified in the Program parameter. The called program runs under
the mirror transaction CPMI, but
is linked to under the Transid transaction name. This name is available
to the called program for querying the transaction ID. Some servers
use the transaction ID to determine security and performance attributes
for the called program.
-
If EciTPN is set
to TRUE, the Transid will be interpreted
as the ECI_TPN transid, a transaction
that will be used in the server to process the ECI request. This transaction
must be defined in the server as a CICS mirror transaction. If the
ECI request is extended, this parameter has a meaning only for the
first request.
|
A CICS transaction ID of four characters or less.
|
|
Use TransId
as ECI_TPN
|
CTG specific. Specifies whether
the TransId is interpreted as ECI_TPN or if the called program runs
under the default mirror transaction CPMI. Options are:
-
True: Indicates
that the TransId is interpreted as ECI_TPN.
-
False: Indicates
that the called program runs under the default mirror transaction
CPMI, and is linked to under the TransId (if present).
|
Select True or False.
False is the configured default.
|
|
COMMAREA Length
|
Specifies the length (in bytes) of the COMMAREA passed to the
ECI.
|
A number indicating the byte length of the COMMAREA.
Note –
When using the CICS Transaction Gateway transport, data
sent to CICS must be padded with spaces, if necessary, to match the
full size of the commarea.
|
|
ECI extend mode
|
Specifies whether a logical unit of work is terminated at the
end of a call.
|
Select Yes or No.
Yes indicates that the work
unit is terminated at the end of a call.
The configured default is No.
|
|
ECI LUW Token
|
CTG specific. Specifies an integer used to identify the logical
unit of work (LUW) to which a call belongs. This must be set to 0 (zero) at the start of an LUW, even if
the LUW is to be extended. The ECI updates the value upon the first
(or only) call of the LUW. If the LUW is to be extended, this value
is used as input to any subsequent calls associated with the same
LUW.
If the return code is not ECI_NO_ERROR, and a call is ending
or continuing an existing LUW, then this field is used to report the
state of the LUW as follows:
-
A code of 0 (zero) indicates that the LUW has ended
and its updates have been backed out.
-
Any non-zero code indicates the current input value.
It also indicates that the LUW is continuing, and updates are still
pending.
See the Logical units
of work in ECI table in the CICS
Transaction Gateway: Programming Guide for more information.
|
An integer used to identify the ECI logical unit of work.
|
|
Encoding
|
Specifies the canonical name for the encoding set.
|
The canonical name for any encoding set supported by Sun’s
Java Runtime Environment 1.1.8 (contained in rt.jar and i18n.jar).
Examples are ASCII and Cp500 (EBCDIC).
When running the CICS Adapter on a z/OS platform,
set the Encoding value to Cp500.
