From the documentation it seems that users will have to modify, compile, and link all their ADABAS/CICS programs in order to take advantage of new ADABAS/CICS interface plus change CICS region JCL. Has anybody test it? ---

You will only have to modify your programs (using native Adabas calls) if you want to use the new ACBX interface. ---

It will require having either two libraries, one for ACI 813 and one for 743, or merge modules, mix them in one library… either way will make our multi-environment platform too complex. What if we relink the new (813) Adabas CICS interface with an ALIAS that points to our current Adabas CICS interface name? ---

The ALIAS trick works //SYSLMOD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SAG.CICS.RPL.LOAD //ACILOD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SAG.ACI813.LOAD //SYSLIN DD \* MODE AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY) INCLUDE ACILOD(ADACICS) ENTRY ADACICS ALIAS ADABAS \<== previous Adabas CICS interface name NAME ADACICS(R) ---

We have tried the trick with the ALIAS but during the cics startup, the following error occurs: +NTAD - ADABAS , ABEND U670 IN ADABAS LINKAGE ROUTINE Can this be related or be something else? The jcl as follows: //LKED EXEC PGM=HEWL,PARM=‘RENT,LIST,XREF,REUS,NCAL,LET’ //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=\* //SYSLMOD DD DSN=DBMS0E.ADABAS.ACI814.USER.LOAD,DISP=SHR //ADALIB DD DSN=DBMS0E.ADABAS.ACI814.USER.LOAD,DISP=SHR //CICSLIB DD DSN=CICSTS.V220.CICS.SDFHLOAD,DISP=SHR //SYSUT1 DD SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),UNIT=SYSALLDA //SYSLIN DD \* MODE AMODE(31),RMODE(24) INCLUDE CICSLIB(DFHEAI) REPLACE DFHEAI0 INCLUDE ADALIB(ADACICS) INCLUDE ADALIB(LNKGBLS) INCLUDE CICSLIB(DFHEAI0) ENTRY ADACICS ALIAS ADABAS NAME ADACICS(R) Thanks in advance. ---
