CPSMCONN

The CPSMCONN parameter specifies whether you want CICS® to invoke the specified CICSPlex® SM component during initialization of the region.

Using the CPSMCONN parameter has the same effect as specifying the relevant CICSPlex SM program in a program list table. This means that MASPLTWAIT and other PLT-related CICSPlex SM parameters are still valid and should be specified as necessary. To understand which user ID the CICSPlex SM agents run under, see Determining the agent user ID of CICSPlex SM components.

CPSMCONN={NO|CMAS|LMAS|WUI}
You can initialize the region as one of the following:
  • A CICSPlex SM address space (CMAS)
  • A CICSPlex SM local managed application system (MAS)
  • A CICSPlex SM Web User Interface (WUI) server
NO
Do not invoke any CICSPlex SM initialization code in this region.
CMAS
Invoke CICSPlex SM code automatically during CICS initialization to initialize the region as a CMAS. The other information CICSPlex SM needs for a CMAS is taken from the CMAS parameters read from the EYUPARM data set.

Specifying CPSMCONN=CMAS is the recommended alternative to specifying the CICSPlex SM CMAS initialization program in a CICS post-initialization program list table (PLTPI).

Note: If you specify CPSMCONN=CMAS, ensure that your CICS region startup JCL EXEC statement specifies the name of the CICSPlex SM CMAS program, EYU9XECS. For example:
//CMAS    EXEC PGM=EYU9XECS,…,…
LMAS
Invoke CICSPlex SM code automatically during CICS initialization to initialize the region as a local MAS. The other information CICSPlex SM needs for a MAS is taken from the MAS parameters read from the EYUPARM data set.

Specifying CPSMCONN=LMAS is the recommended alternative to specifying the CICSPlex SM MAS initialization program in a CICS post-initialization program list table (PLTPI).

WUI
Invoke CICSPlex SM code automatically during CICS initialization to initialize the region as a CICSPlex SM WUI server. The other information CICSPlex SM needs is taken from the MAS and WUI parameters read from the EYUPARM and EYUWUI data sets respectively.

Specifying CPSMCONN=WUI is the recommended alternative to specifying the CICSPlex SM MAS and WUI initialization and shutdown programs in initialization and shutdown program list tables (PLTPI and PLTSD).
