Operations qualification exit points

Operations qualification exit points occur before CICS® Configuration Manager performs an install, a discard, or a newcopy action for a resource, after any security checks.

These exit points occur for each instance of an action that CICS Configuration Manager performs. Your exit programs allow or disallow each instance independently.

For a resource definition that belongs to a CSD-based CICS configuration, CICS Configuration Manager performs an instance of the action on each remote system connection that is defined in the CICS configuration. For example, suppose you request to install a change package that contains two resource definitions, both of which belong to the same CSD-based CICS configuration. The migration scheme that you use contains that CICS configuration as a target. The CICS configuration defines three remote system connections. Assuming any security checks are passed, then installing the change package triggers the operations qualification exit point for an install action (OPQAIN01) 6 times (2 resource definitions × 3 remote system connections).

However, for a resource definition that belongs to a context-based CICS configuration, CICS Configuration Manager performs only once instance of the action (by calling CICSPlex® SM). Depending on the target scope that you specify when you request the action, that one instance of the action might affect multiple systems.
