Re: CICS Transaction 'QKVA' is not recognized
Hello Terry, Here's what's happened .. three days before my original post, I had emailed IBM but heard nothing thus the post. Sent a reminder email to IBM and got an instant response and as Friday wore on, a solution (they're good). It seems that what I'd learned here and did was correct. The missing bit was as simple as making a copy of DFH420.SVTSC.PROCLIB(CICSTS42) to my VENDOR.PROCLIB (apparently being on the pecking chain (which was in the Dallas documentation but I knew too little to comprehend)) and concatenating a // DD DSN=VENDOR.LOADUSER,DISP=SHR (where I stick pgms and maps) to the DFHRPL stmt therein .. is an example of your 'pristine' I think. .. anyway my menu scrn appeared! Am a happy camper. Everything's simple - if you know how. Small downside was getting PROG755's in some of my maps that never appeared with the same transaction in TXSeries .. will work on that before coming back here:-). In the meantime I would very much thank you and all who helped, am learning more of CICS tous le temps.

I use an ADCD rather than a Dallas system but the process is the same as I mentioned in my earlier post. If you are able to view your CICS system via SDSF, the relevant SYSIN should be in the JCL of that task which typically contains multiple steps, the first two being IDCAMS executions and the third is CICS itself. The SYSIN DD statement in this step will specify a data set name with a member name appended and it is this member name which will contain the SIT parameters probably starting with the APPLID. The GRPLIST parameter will be found here also and probably only points to XYZLIST which is an IBM provided list. To include your list simple code GRPLIST(XYZLIST,INITLIST),. (You are allowed up to 4 lists.) Given the data set names in your last post, and checking with the CICS42 procedure on my system I would expect the SYSIN data set to be called DFH420.SYSIN, which contains 6 DFHSIP members. If the default from the SIP symbolic parameter is being used then the member of interest would be DFH$SIP$1. I would recommend copying this member and changing the last digit so that CICS could be started with SIP=G say, to allow CICS to be started with /s cicsts42,SIP=G - start=initial should not be needed as it is the default in the procedure if it standard. I think I might have missed the DFHCSDUP ADD GROUP to LIST item as I thought I had read that into your original post but the sequence should be: DEFINE resources - Which creates new group if it is not already in existence ADD Group to LIST - Which creates new list if it is not already in existence Both of the above can be done with DFHCSDUP and if CICS is stopped and started with the new list in GRPLIST, there is no need for INSTALL which cannot be done via DFHCSDUP. I actually have a pair programs which exploit the CICS EXCI interface to allow INSTALL from batch but that's another story. Finally if you are happy to update an IBM list then your group have been added to XYZLIST. For preference I like to keep IBM supplied stuff pristine thus providing a fall-back position if and when things go pear shaped.

Re: CICS Transaction 'QKVA' is not recognized
HI Graham, Both Lizette and Wayne have correctly indicated that doing a CEDA INSTALL as prior to issuing that command the transaction definition is defined within the CSD but not available to CICS for use. Additionally it may be worth knowing that INSTALL is not possible via DFHCSDUP. If CICS is started with a WARM or EMERGENCY start the CSD is not used to refresh the resource definitions within CICS, it uses the CICS Global Catalogue instead. If an INITIAL or COLD start is performed it will use the CSD. Doing the INSTALL via CEDA is fine for WARM/EMERGENCY situations but to cater for INITIAL/COLD if a new LIST has been created it is worth checking the GRPLIST parameter in the SIT to ensure that the list is defined to CICS start-up. The SIT can be located by checking the member name in the data set defined via the SYSIN DD statement in the CICS step of the start-up JCL .

Re: CICS Transaction 'QKVA' is not recognized
Graham, Is INITLIST defined to your CICS via the GRPLIST parameter in the SIT or SIT override like, GRPLIST=(XYZLIST,INITLIST,etc)? If not then maybe you should add GROUP1 to XYZLIST so it will be available at each cold/initial startup. Or add INITLIST to GRPLIST parameter, reassemble SIT,(necessary if not a sysin or parm override), and cold/initial-start.

Hi Terry, Thanks, am getting a bit knotted with all the incoming info helping me, if I may .. -- I use batch DFHCSDUP just for DEFINE'ing all my pgms, maps, files and transid's (avg 20 each time) because is part of an automated process (RDO is a non-starter).
