Disconnecting CICS from DBCTL

To disconnect CICS from DBCTL, you can:

  1. Type
    CDBC DISConnect [IMMediate]
    or
  2. Choose either option 2 or option 3 of the CDBC panel.

Option 2 gives you an orderly disconnection. An orderly disconnection allows all existing CICS-DBCTL tasks to be completed before CICS is disconnected from DBCTL.

The following display shows you the effect of asking for option 2:

Figure 15. CDBC transaction: option 2 screen
 CDBC                CICS-DBCTL CONNECTION/DISCONNECTION                  93.259
                                                                        13:39:20

           Select one of the following:

                1 Connection
                2 ORDERLY disconnection
                3 IMMEDIATE disconnection


           Option Selection     ==> 2
           Startup Table Suffix ==> 00
           DBCTL ID Override    ==>

   DFHDB8209D DBCTL orderly disconnection requested. Press PF5 to confirm.

   Status of the Interface: DFHDB8293I DBCTL connected and ready.
               CICS APPLID: IYAHZCD2
                  DBCTL ID: SYS2
      Startup Table Suffix: 00


 PF1 = Help   2 = Refresh   3 = End

Option 3 gives you an immediate disconnection. This allows only current DL/I requests to DBCTL from this CICS system to be completed before CICS is disconnected from DBCTL.

Specifying a DBCTL system identifier (DBCTLID)

A field on the CDBC panel enables you to use the CDBC transaction to specify a DBCTLID to override the one in the DRA startup table. The syntax for connection to DBCTL via CDBC is:

CDBC CONNECT [SUFFIX(xx)] [DBCTLID(yyyy)]

For more details on using CDBC, see the CICS® IMS™ Database Control Guide.
