Obsolete resource definition attributes

Table 7 shows obsolete resource definition attributes:

Table 7. Obsolete resource definition attributes
Resource type Obsolete attributes Explanation
CORBASERVER
SSL
PORT
SSLPORT
These attributes, which relate the CORBASERVER to the associated TCPIPSERVICE resources, were introduced in CICS® TS 2.1. In CICS TS 2.2 they are superseded by CLIENTCERT, SSLUNAUTH and UNAUTH.
PROGRAM HOTPOOL Because of the removal of run-time support for Java™ program objects and hot-pooling (HPJ), this attribute is no longer relevant.
REQUESTMODEL
OMGINTERFACE
OMGMODULE
OMGOPERATION
These attributes, which were restricted to 31-characters, 58-characters, and 31-characters respectively, have been replaced by INTERFACE, MODULE, and OPERATION.
TYPETERM XRFSIGNOFF Replaced by RSTSIGNOFF. See Signon retention with XRF and VTAM persistent sessions for migration impact.

Signon retention with XRF and VTAM persistent sessions

In earlier releases of CICS that support VTAM® persistent sessions, CICS recovers only the terminal session, and not the user's signon status. With signon retention support, CICS catalogs the signon status of every user who signs on, enabling CICS to retain a terminal's signon in the event of either a CICS or VTAM failure. Thus CICS regions using VTAM persistent sessions have the same signon retention capability as CICS regions using XRF. However, XRF and VTAM persistent sessions are mutually exclusive, and rather than have two parameters to control signon and signoff status, RSTSIGNOFF operates for both functions.

When you upgrade your CSD to the CICS TS 2.2 level, the RSTSIGNOFF attribute becomes effective, and XRFSIGNOFF is retained for compatibility with earlier releases. If you have TYPETERM definitions specified with XRFSIGNOFF(FORCE) to operate in regions using XRF, these have no effect in a CICS TS 2.2 region, which does not recognize the XRFSIGNOFF attribute. To ensure the same level of support, edit your TYPETERM definitions to specify RSTSIGNOFF(FORCE).
