- Subject: Feasibility of single TOR
- Lines: 60
-
- I apologize for reposting this question to those of you who
- are on the CICS list but when I asked it on that list I got
- no reponse so I thought I'd try it on the IBM-MAIN list.
-
-
- I have a question about the feasibility of running all
- (test, production, development, experimental) of my CICS's
- using just one terminal owning region (TOR). I now run
- a configuration that looks like this:
-
- production: PRD1 (TOR/AOR) ----> PRD2 (AOR/DOR)
- test: TST1 (TOR/AOR) ----> TST2 (AOR/DOR)
- development: REG0 (standalone CICS)
- develmnt2: CSV1 (TOR/AOR) ----> CSV2 (AOR/DOR)
- expermnt1: XPR0 (standalone CICS)
- expermnt2: XPR1 (TOR/AOR) ----> XPR2 (AOR/DOR)
- student: STD0 (standalone CICS)
-
- What I would like to do is something like this:
-
- terminal: TOR
- production1: |-------> PRD1 (AOR) -----> PRD3 (DOR)
- production2: |-------> PRD2 (AOR) -----> PRD3 (DOR)
- test1: |-------> TST1 (AOR) -----> TST3 (DOR)
- test2: |-------> TST2 (AOR) -----> TST3 (DOR)
- developmnt1: |-------> REG0 (AOR/DOR)
- developmnt2: |-------> CSV1 (AOR) -----> CSV3 (DOR)
- developmnt3: |-------> CSV2 (AOR) -----> CSV3 (DOR)
- expermntl1: |-------> XPR0 (AOR/DOR)
- expermntl2: |-------> XPR1 (AOR) -----> XPR3 (DOR)
- expermntl3: |-------> XPR2 (AOR) -----> XPR3 (DOR)
- student: |-------> STD0 (AOR/DOR)
-
- The test, production, and development regions all use the
- same set of transactions, e.g. NAT2 is defined in all
- three systems; it does the same thing in each, except
- it uses a separate database. The question is this - how
- can I get a production user entering NAT2 in the TOR to
- go to PRD1, a test user entering NAT2 to go to TST1 and a
- development user entering NAT2 to go to CSV1, without
- first asking them to route themselves to the proper region
- with the CRTE transaction? The only thing I can think of
- is to write a program which is linked to immediately after
- they get logged on (we use ACF2) to prompt them for a
- system. This program would just issue the proper CRTE
- transaction for them after checking security for that
- system.
-
- Providing new tranactions for the test and development
- regions is probably not feasible.
-
- My environment is CICS 2.1.1, MVS/ESA, ADABAS.

- Any, all replys are greatly appreciated.
