Hi,

I need to issue CECI START XXXX from a Batch JCL where XXXX is my transaction and defined in CSD.

How can I do that?

Thanks

Even with EXCI, I don't believe you can directly invoke CECI, especially if you plan on accessing CECI in Production, which is a high-risk security issue.

You'll have to have (or create) a CICS program, which you'll LINK-TO via EXCI and this program will issue the START of the TRANSID, passed in the commarea.

Will the started TRANSID be attached to a terminal?

If not, it might be worthwhile obtaining the CICS default user, from the INQUIRE SYSTEM API and use this userid in the START.

You don't need to run CECI to start a transaction from batch.
