Communications/Transactions Guide and Reference
The CICS Proc Dialog part now provides several options that you can use to
help optimize performance when communicating with CICS on OS/390. To
access these options, open the settings of a CICS Proc Dialog part and go to
the MVS page.
The following options are available:
- Net Name
- The name of a specific pipe you want to use for the connection. Use
this field if you want your application to use a dedicated pipe. (The
pipe you specify must be defined in your CICS setup; see your CICS
documentation for more information.) This field is optional; if
you do not specify a net name, VisualAge Smalltalk will use the default
pipe.
The Net Name field applies only if you also select Use EXCI
Interface.
- Comm Area Input Data Length
- The length of the input data within the COMMAREA. Specifying the
input data length can help to optimize performance if the amount of data being
passed is small. This field is optional.
- Unit Of Work Name
- The name of the unit of work for the transaction. This field is
optional.
- Use EXCI Interface
- Specifies whether you want to use the CICS EXCI interface. This
interface can help to optimize performance for high-volume connections because
it avoids the overhead of initializing, allocating, and opening a pipe for
each call.
