Chapter 11. Writing a program to control autoinstall ofconsoles
Considerations common to all user-replaceable programs
Note that the comments contained in “Chapter 5. General notes about
user-replaceable programs” on page401 apply to this chapter.
This chapter describes how to write a program to control the automatic installation
of MVS console devices (including TSO consoles). For information about controlling
the automatic installation of locally-attached VTAM terminals, see “Chapter10.
Writing a program to control autoinstall of terminals” on page485.
The chapter is divided into the following sections:
1. “Preliminary considerations”.
2. “The autoinstall control program at INSTALL”on page 506
3. “The autoinstall control program at DELETE” on page510
4. “The sample programs and copy books” on page511
Preliminary considerations
The reasons for using autoinstall for MVS consoles are the same as those that
apply to the autoinstall for VTAM devices: you don’t have to define each device
explicitly, and you save on storage (see “Preliminary considerations”on page 485).

Leaving it all to CICS

For consoles, in addition to the normal autoinstall support, you can also choose to
let CICS autoinstall consoles without calling the autoinstall program. In this case,
CICS uses either:
vA model console definition with anAUTINSTNAME (model name) that matches
the MVS console name, or
vThe first suitable console model it finds in alphanumeric sequence
If the autoinstall control program is not called, CICS generates a 4-character termid
starting with the ¬(logical not) symbol.
If you want CICS to install your consoles automatically:
vSpecify AICONS=AUTO (or issue a CEMT(or EXEC CICS) SET AUTOINSTALL
CONSOLES(FULLAUTO) command).
vCreate at least one model TERMINAL definition that references a TYPETERM
definition specifying DEVICE(CONSOLE). Youcan use the IBM-supplied
definition in group DFHTERMC if it suits your needs.
vInstall the model TERMINAL and TYPETERM definition.
