CMNCICS1 - CICS PIPELINE

The SYSIN for CMNCICS1 may also specify PIPELINE keywords following the TARGET keyword. The format of the keyword is: PIPELINE=pipeline where pipeline is the name of the pipeline as defined by the CICS system definition (CSD).

The pipeline keyword results in the deployment of a CICS transaction SEMT, which invokes CMNEMTP, a new component in 8.1.0. Therefore, the ZMF resource definitions must be installed in each of the potential target CICS platforms.

In the case of pipeline, the ESA and SRB methods are not valid. Any of the operator commands or the XCI method is preferred.

The CMNEMTP logic is as follows:

• Verify that the PIPELINE exists
• Perform PIPELINE SCAN

For example:

//SYSIN DD *
  TARGET=CICSname
  PIPELINE=Pipename
