Defining a CICS Transaction
Server for z/OS data
structure
Mapped data structures,
such as COBOL copybooks or C structures, can be used to define an
MRM message definition for a CICS® Transaction
Server for z/OS® COMMAREA
or a channel container.
After you have created the message
definition, complete the following steps.
Procedure
Select the Data
structure property value on the Basic tab
of the CICSRequest node
in accordance with the targeted CICS program.
For example, if the target program is channel-based, select Channel as the data structure.
Ensure that the properties on the Response
Message Parsing tab of the CICSRequest node specify the
output COMMAREA or container structure.
Check that the upstream nodes are configured to provide
the correct input structure.
Optional: If you are using a COMMAREA data
structure, ensure that the CICSRequest node Commarea length property is large
enough to hold the serialized input or output structures to avoid
a memory leak in the CICS application.
What to do next
If you are using a channel data structure, create
a message collection to represent the channel data structure, as described
in Creating a message collection by using ESQL.
