Invoke a transaction between CICS regions

rsm_deepak · Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2007 12:01 pm

Hi all,

My requirement is

There are 40 CICS regions which are invoking same transaction for a specific reqiurement.

So every time based on the region we are going into CICS region and trigger the trans id.

Now we want to automate it for a tool. (Since the front end(dotNet) users can't trigger the trans id in mainframes).

So my problem is to Invoke same transaction in different regions(based on the requirement) through the tool where the cost should be less for the client.

too confusing, can you explain a little more?

.net users can and do run transactions on the mainframe.

are you talking about running a transaction in 1 region that auto starts
transactions in 40 other regions ?

running a transaction that auto start another transaction ABCD based on following condition

IF CONDITION 1
Trigger ABCD in CICS Region 1

IF CONDITION 2
Trigger ABCD in CICS Region 2

IF CONDITION 3
Trigger ABCD in CICS Region 3

A google search on "cics load balancing" or even better "cicsplex load balancing" will give You lots of pointers to documents concerning cics/network directions useful for implementing network balancing ( TCP/IP ) and/or application balancing between different cics/cicplex regions.

Try

if condition1
exec cics start transid('ABCD') SYSID ('R001') << region 1 sysid

else
if condition2
exec cics start transid('ABCD') SYSID ('R002') << region 2 sysid
