CICS Configuration Instructions (Mainframe)

To add, change or delete CONNX configuration settings/environmental variables for mainframe CICS jobs (VSAM, CISAM, ADABAS), use the NX01 transaction.

 

All settings are read once at either listener or server startup.

It always requires either a restart of the listener or connection of the new server for a new setting to take effect.

 

The basic format of the command is:

NX01 PARAMETER value
 

To remove a parameter and return to default behavior, enter the command without a value

NX01 PARAMETER

 

Example: To set the environmental variable ADA_DEBUG_TRACE_MASK  enter:

NX01 ADA_DEBUG_TRACE_MASK 1

Set_CICS_NXO1.bmp

 

After the environmental variable has been entered the following appears:

CICS_NX01_results.bmp

 

Entering the NX01 transaction without any values allows you to view any CONNX configuration settings/environmental variables that have been set using NX01:

View_CICS_NX01.bmp

 

The variables that have been set by the NX01 transaction appear:
