Your control program can use the TEMPLATE_NETNAME field to specify the
NETNAME of the template. For connections between generic resources, your
program can accept the suggested template passed by CICS, or specify a
different one—either in this field or by overwriting the suggested template with
blanks and putting a value in the TEMPLATE_SYSID field.
If the specified name is less than 8 bytes, it must be padded with trailing
blanks. If, as an alternative to specifying the NETNAME of the template, your
program specifies its CONNECTION name in TEMPLATE_SYSID, it should fill
TEMPLATE_NETNAME with blanks.
INSTALL_APPC_TEMPLATE_SYSID_PTR
A fullword pointer to a 4-byte output area (TEMPLATE_SYSID) that your control
program can use to specify the SYSID (connection name) of the template. If the
name is less than 4 bytes, it must be padded with trailing blanks. If, as an
alternative to specifying the SYSID of the template, your program specifies its
NETNAME in TEMPLATE_NETNAME, it should fill TEMPLATE_SYSID with
zeros.
INSTALL_APPC_SYSID_PTR
A fullword pointer to a 4-byte output area in which your program must put the
SYSID for the new autoinstalled connection. The name you supply must be
unique. You can use the same or similar logic to create it that you use for
creating a terminal ID. If the name is less than 4 bytes, it must be padded with
trailing blanks.
If you are using recoverable resources, the SYSID chosen for a connection
after a restart must be the same as that chosen in the previous CICS run.
INSTALL_APPC_NETNAME2_PTR
A fullword pointer to a 2-byte length field, followed by an 8-byte input field
(APPC_NETNAME2).
If both the partner and the local CICS are generic resources,
APPC_NETNAME2 is the partner’s generic resource name or member name,
depending on the setting of APPC_GR_TYPE.
If the partner is not a generic resource, APPC_NETNAME2 contains the same
value as NETNAME.
If the local CICS is not a generic resource, the value of APPC_NETNAME2 is
meaningless.
INSTALL_APPC_NETID_PTR
A fullword pointer to an 8-byte input field containing the Network ID of the
partner. This field is set whenever the local CICS is registered as a generic
resource. At all other times it has a value of 0.
INSTALL_APPC_GR_TYPE_PTR
A fullword pointer to a 1-byte input field indicating whether this is a connection
between generic resources and, if so, whether the NETNAME passed on the
BIND is the partner’s generic resource name or its member name. The equated
values are:
G NETNAME is the partner’s generic resource name and
APPC_NETNAME2 is its member name (applid).
M NETNAME is the partner’s member name (applid) and
APPC_NETNAME2 is its generic resource name.
Blank This CICS is not registered as a generic resource or the partner is not
registered.
