3.12 System Configuration File

The following table lists and defines system available to the CICS application.

The filename is system.desc.

The format of a system.desc definition is:

[SYSIDNT]
<field_name_1>=<field_value_1>
<field_name_2>=<field_value_2>
… …

For example,

[KIXA]
APPLID = DBDCKIXA
INITPARM =(DBCONNA=’instance1,database1,artuser1,abc123’)
[KIXB]
APPLID = DBDCKIXB
INITPARM =(DBCONNA=’instance2,database2,artuser2,123abc’)

Note:

Blank lines and comment lines are supported. You can use an asterisk in column 1 to code comments, or to remove temporarily an initialization parameter from a particular execution of CICS.

Using a “\”, you can continue parameters on another line. Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS concatenates the operands, omitting the remaining blanks after “\” in the current line. In this usage, only blank characters can appear after “\” in the current line; otherwise, ”\” will be treated as a backslash.
