    Enhance CBAC CBKCLINK program with CICSPLEX support

    A time-critical job, currently reliant on an in-house program using EXEC CPSM PERFORM for file operations, cannot be migrated to CBAC CBKCLINK due to lacks of CICSPLEX support. When a PLEX LPAR restarts after maintenance, the current setup does no...

    Enhance getmain/freemain of CBKCLINK program to avoid RLED abend

    Request IBM to review and enhance the CBKCLINK program to ensure proper handling of GETMAIN and FREEMAIN operations. Currently, the program does not release memory properly with FREEMAIN when called multiple times, leading to excessive memory allo...

    Use of generic character in SET TRANSID for CBAC

    We are planning the migration from CA DADS to CICS Batch Application Control and faced the need to convert CICS commands like “CEMT SET TRANSID(XX*),ENABLESTATUS(DISABLED)" allowed in DADS,too, as CBAC command using “SET TRANSID”, that is the only...

    Interface CBAC with CEDA

    Just like you have interfaced CBAC with CEMT using RUNCEMT, we are asking to do the same for CEDA with a RUNCEDA facility. Our intention is to use CBAC to install CSD resources on a CBAC group level. As an example we hope to perform these CEDA com...

    Allow cBAC to store a start request in the cBAC control file when CICS is down so that the start command can then execute when the CICS region comes up

    We are currently considering converting from DADS to cBAC and are testing cBAC in a CICS test region. We did find a function that DADS can do but cBAC cannot do. We have many applications that do a start tran in DADS so that the start command is e...

    Ability to alter DSNAME or attributes of file within CBAC regardless of the type of CICS startup(COLD/WARM/EMER).

    The ability to alter the DSNAME or attributes to be effective after a COLD start within CICS Batch Application Control is needed.

    CBAC enhancement to avoid huge getmain.

    CICS BAC development did confirm that the first mirror task for the CBAC File Maintenance Utility will getmain 40M for the MAXDOWNLOADPAGES(9999). If the command response is greater than 32K, the reply data is written to a CICS TSQUEUE and the bat...

    CBAC SYSIN format enhancement

    Please enhance the CBAC to allow the SYSIN continuity character at any column instead of fixed at 72? similar to IDCAMS SYSIN.format

    KBKM command to accept INITPARM values

    Currently a KBKM START command will ignore the CBKCMNDS parameters specified on the SIT INITPARM. This can result in significant negative impact to the use of the product.

    CICS BAC CICS Administration Interface trans ID

    Currently there is an ISPF Administration Interface to manage the data sets defineds to a CICS region. It would be nice to have a CICS transaction to invoke the CBAC Administraion functions while logged onto the CICS region.
