CICS Applications - DBRM Specification

CICS applications migrated using HCOSS and running under Enterprise Server require that you specify a package collection, list of package collections, or a plan in which your application's DBRMs are bound. You can do this one of two ways:

• Enterprise Server environment variables

  Depending on how you have bound your DBRMs, set one the following environment variables in the Configuration Information field on the Enterprise Server Administration Server > Properties > General tab for the enterprise server running the application:

  • ES_DB_APPLICATION_PLAN
  • ES_DB_PACKAGESET
  • ES_DB_PACKAGE_PATH

  These variables set the APPLICATION PLAN, CURRENT PACKAGESET or CURRENT PACKAGE PATH special registers. By setting one of these variables, you create a global setting for a CICS region.

• In application source code

  Add one of the following statements to your source code:

  • SET APPLICATION PLAN
  • SET CURRENT PACKAGESET
  • SET CURRENT PACKAGE PATH

  Use SET APPLICATION PLAN or SET CURRENT PACKAGESET to explicitly set the plan name or collection name containing your DBRMs. Use SET CURRENT PACKAGE PATH to specify a list of collections from which to select.

  Note: This method is less desirable because it requires changes to application code.
