The CICS TM uses CICS XAD information to communicate with other RMs. The XAD definition contains one Sybase stanza for each LRM. For a description of an XAD stanza’s attributes, see your CICS documentation.
Below are two sample Sybase XAD stanzas. Use the SMIT utility to add stanzas to your CICS region.
betaOne: GroupName="" ActivateOnStartup=yes ResourceDescription="XA Product Definition" AmendCounter=2 Permanent=no SwitchLoadFile="/usr/lpp/sybase/sample/xa_library/ cics/switch/sybasexa" XAOpen="-Uuser_1 -Ppassword_1 -Nconnection_1" XAClose="ignored" XASerialize=all_operations betaTwo: GroupName="" ActivateOnStartup=yes ResourceDescription="XA Product Definition" AmendCounter=2 Permanent=no SwitchLoadFile="/usr/lpp/sybase/sample/xa_library/ cics/switch/sybasexa" XAOpen="-Uuser_2 -Ppassword_2 -Nconnection_2" XAClose="ignored" XASerialize=all_operations
The following fields are configuration-dependent and must be modified:
SwitchLoadFile
XAOpen
XAClose
XASerialize
All Sybase stanzas can use the same switch-load file.
See “Open string parameters for DTM XA Interface” for information about the contents specified in the XAOpen string of the XAD Definition.
