CICS/Message CICS/Message allows you to send messages to:
- an individual CICS terminal by terminal id or netname.
- all CICS terminals (including console operator)
- all CICS terminals matching a generic terminal id or netname
- an individual CICS user by OPID or USERID
- all CICS terminals matching a generic operator id (OPID or USERID)
- all terminals/operators in a user specified list or
- the computer operator without destroying the contents of the user's previous screen.
Some common examples of CICS/Message usage include:
- notify users that the system is coming down
- notify users that a file is being closed/re-opened
- ask users to end a transaction
- notify console of a problem
- notify a group of users about a meeting
- user to user communication
With CICS/Message messages can be up to nine 18-line screens long, and can be sent to any 3270 VTAM or BTAM terminal. After
receiving the message the terminal operator simply presses a PF key and the original screen and transaction are fully restored.
A message can be originated by:
- Entering a CICS transaction
- LINKING to the message program from a CICS program
- Batch JCL if our ‘CICS/CEMT from Batch'’ product is installed.
CICS/Message recipients can send a reply by simply pressing a PF key and entering a response. Messages (and replies) can be printed on
your CICS printers. All CICS/Message installation options are completed online.
If MacKinney Systems' CICS/CEMT from Batch is installed,
CICS/Message can automatically notify a user when his batch job finishes. Programmers won't be constantly checking to see
if their test or compile is done. If MacKinney Systems' CICS/Morning News is
installed, messages can also be automatically loaded to the NEWS file
so users who were not logged on when the message was sent can view the message later.
CICS/Morning News displays one or more screens of news to all eligible users when they log on or sign on to CICS.
