Table 8 shows changes to resource definition attributes.
Resource type | Affected attributes | Explanation |
---|---|---|
DB2CONN |
DB2ID TCBLIMIT |
TCBLIMIT is treated differently, depending on the release of DB2® to which CICS® is connected, and DB2ID is mutually exclusive with DB2GROUPID. |
PROFILE | RTIMOUT | Now, in addition to specifying the
terminal read time-out feature as in earlier releases, this also specifies
the time-out value for IIOP request processor tasks that are waiting
for method requests.
Users migrating from CICS TS 1.3 may already be aware of the following change if they applied the PTF for APAR PQ58283.

TCPIPSERVICE |
PORTNUMBER TRANSACTION |
The description of the PORTNUMBER attribute
has been extended, with information regarding the use of well-known
IIOP port numbers and port sharing within an MVS™™ image.
CIEP, for an ECI over TCP/IP TCPIPSERVICE definition, is added to the CICS transactions you can specify on the TRANSACTION attribute. |
TRANSACTION | SHUTDOWN | The meaning of this parameter is changed. It now applies to ALL transactions whether the transaction is associated with a terminal or not. Therefore, SHUTDOWN(ENABLED) should be specified on all TRANSACTIONS that you want to run during shutdown. Alternatively, specify them on the XLT used at shutdown. |
TYPETERM | RSTSIGNOFF | Specifies the sign-on characteristics of a group of terminals in the event of a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover. RSTSIGNOFF replaces XRFSIGNOFF, which is retained for compatibility purposes with earlier releases. |
In CICS TS 2.2, for languages that use double-byte character sets (DBCS), changes were made to the server code pages supported for the EPI and the client terminal emulator function.
The server code page is determined from value 2 of the CGCSGID attribute of the TYPETERM definition used to install the virtual terminal definition. For DBCS languages, you need to specify a different server code page from that used in releases before CICS TS 2.2, in order to provide the correct SBCS and DBCS translation. This change is required for EPI clients and client terminal emulators to work correctly.
CICS Family: Communicating from CICS on System/390® lists the new server code pages supported for the EPI and terminal emulator for DBCS languages.
