Transaction Definition

Transaction Definition

Transaction Definitions (TD) define all the transactions that CICS® can process in a region. CICS requires this definition to verify incoming requests to start transactions, and to supply information about a transaction. Each entry in the TD contains control information that CICS uses to identify and run a transaction. You can define remote and local transactions in the TD.

Configuring a Transaction Definition using the TXSeries Administration Console

1. Expand Testreg1 and select Transaction
   
2. Select Transactions tab and click Add.
   
3. Fill in the following.
   - Transaction Name - TZON- Right click Transaction/Program list
   
4. Click the Select  Option  and click Add
5. The First program name is automatically filled-in (i.e TIMEZONE).
   Click Submit.
   
6. The Transaction Definition TZON is added.
   
   
7. Cold start the CICS region (Testreg1)
   Everytime you add resources to the CICS region, you MUST stop and stop the region.  Otherwise, the new resources will not become available.
