Set program newcopy

If you omit the destination name, CEMT displays a list of all transient data queues. Retrieves or sets task information. If you omit the task identifier, CEMT displays a list of all active tasks. Retrieves or sets terminal information. If you omit the terminal-id, CEMT displays a list of all terminals. Retrieves or sets transaction information. If you omit the trans-id, CEMT displays a list of all transactions. Disabling a resource is often a good way to get out of a processing loop. For example, if your terminal is tied up by a pseudo-conversational transaction that keeps restarting itself, simply disable the transaction from another terminal.

Establishes a new copy of a program or mapset. NOATI means that the terminal can not be used for those transactions. Specifies that CICS should be terminated immediately, even if there are tasks still running. It contains the display format of the map for a given terminal. It is coded using BMS macros. It is assembled separately and link edited into the CICS library. Tasks are managed by the CICS task control program.

This process allows CICS processing to continue while a task is waiting for the operating system to complete a request on its behalf. You know what, all of this could have been figured out if you just had taken troubles to read manuals before logging into forum and posting questions and waiting for their answers.

So simple a question? Posted: Sat May 20, am. Posted: Tue May 23, am. Posted: Tue May 23, pm. After being loaded once any subsequent reload will be from the library location now stored in the internal CICS tables. If the program is being used conversationally the old copy will be used until each current conversation finishes, new conversations will use the new program Long and short of this is, once the program is loaded in cics library and executed for the first time in CICS, until next cics region recycle, the program is loaded in cache or temporary memory like bufferpool, if u want to simplyfy ur understanding.

All subsequent calls to program will refer to the load module loaded in this cache. Doing newcopy will suspend this cache load module and cics will fetch a fresh copy of that program from its load library. And that is why, even if you recompile the program and load it to cics load lib, for cics to get this latest version, NEWCOPY is required. Otherwise whenever prog is called in CICS its old version will be picked up from cache.
