Migrating to CICS Transaction Server 2.2:
User Experience - DB2 Considerations 2

---

• DB2 RDO DB2CONN STANDBYMODE(RECONNECT)
  • Our DB2 systems staff had the following in the macro RCT:
    • DSNCRCT TYPE=INIT,
            STRTWT=YES,
    • STRTWT= can be one of: AUTO | YES | NO
  • For CICS TS 2.2, after migrating the macro RCT to RDO, we changed our DB2CONN from STANdbymode(Connect) to STANdbymode(Reconnect). It can now be one of: Reconnect | Connect | Noconnect
  • "The STANDBY keyword and the AUTO option of STRTWT are valid for CICS Transaction Server 1.1 and above. STRTWT=YES is the default for CICS Version 4 and earlier."
