The CONNECT view shows general information about ISC and MRO connections. Examples of how to use this view can be found in:
The CONNECT view is available for all managed CICS® systems.
connection
is the specific or generic name
of an ISC or MRO connection, or * for all connections. If you
omit this parameter, the view includes information about all connections within
the current scope.
netname
is
the specific or generic name of a netname, or * for all netnames.
Use this parameter to find out which connections are associated with which
netnames.
Figure 3 is an example of the CONNECT view.

Table 11 shows the action commands you can issue from the CONNECT view. The overtype fields are shown in Table 12.
The action commands and overtype fields for the CONNECT view are available for all managed CICS systems for which CONNECT is valid, except as noted in Table 11.
Primary command | Line command | Description |
---|---|---|
ACQuire
connection sysname |
ACQ | Acquires a connection (APPC only). |
CANcel
connection sysname |
CAN | Cancels automatic initiation descriptor (AID) queuing for a connection. |
DiSCard
connection sysname |
DSC | Discards a connection from the CICS system where it is installed. The connection must be out of service before it can be discarded. |
EndAFfinity
connection sysname |
EAF | Ends a connection's affinity with a VTAM generic resource group. The connection must be out of service and, for APPC, in NORECOVDATA state. (APPC and LU6.1 connections only.) |
FORceCANcel
connection sysname |
FCN | Cancels all automatic initiation descriptor (AID) queuing, including system AID queuing, for a connection. |
FORcepurge
connection sysname |
FOR | Forces transactions associated with a connection to be immediately purged (VTAM® only). |
INservice
connection sysname |
IN | Places a connection in service. |
NORecovdata
connection sysname |
NOR | Forces all in-doubt units of work, forgets any outstanding resynchs, and erases the logname previously received from the partner system. This overrides the resynchronization process. (APPC connections only.) |
NOTPending
connection sysname |
NTP | Forces all in-doubt units of work and forgets any outstanding resynchs created before the initial (or cold) start of the partner system. This overrides the resynchronization process. (APPC and CICS MRO connections only.) |
OUTservice
connection sysname |
OUT | Takes a connection out of service. |
PURge
connection sysname |
PUR | Purges normally the transactions associated with a connection
(VTAM only). CICS terminates the transactions associated with this connection
only if system and data integrity can be maintained.
Note:
A transaction
is not purged if its definition specifies SPURGE=NO. |
RELease
connection sysname |
REL | Releases a connection (APPC only). |
n/a | SET | Sets a connection attribute according to the new value
you specify in an overtype field (see Table 12).
Note:
The value you specified in the Require Set field on the CICSPlex® System Manager entry panel
determines whether or not you must use the SET command when you overtype a
field. |
UOW
connection sysname |
UOW | Displays the Set action for Shunted UOWs for Failed Connection input panel (Figure 4), which lets you specify whether a unit of work shunted because of the failure of this connection should be backed out, committed, forced, or resynchronized. |
Where:
|
When you issue the UOW action command from the CONNECT view, the Shunted UOWs for Failed Connection input panel appears, as shown in Figure 4.
------------------- Shunted UOWs for Failed Connection ------------------------ COMMAND ===> Connection Name CMGJ Action ==> (BACKOUT, COMMIT, FORCE, RESYNC) Press Enter to process action. Type END or CANCEL to cancel action.
Specify the action to be taken for a unit of work shunted because of the failure of this connection:
Field name | Values |
---|---|
Connect Status | ACQUIRED | RELEASED (APPC only) |
Service Status | INSERVICE | OUTSERVICE |
