You can use the following modules for CICS startup and shutdown operations: -* ``region_jcl`` - Create a CICS startup JCL data set. This module replaces ``start_cics``, which was released with Version 1.1.0-beta.5. - ``region_jcl`` is significantly different from ``start_cics`` in function. ``region_jcl`` creates a data set that contains the startup JCL, but - doesn't perform the actual startup processing. ``region_jcl`` also supports definition and allocation of user data sets with the ``user_data_sets`` parameter. -* ``stop_region`` - Stop a CICS region. This module was initially released as ``stop_cics`` with Version 1.1.0-beta.5. The module is changed to ``stop_region`` - in Version 2.1.0. In Version 2.1.0, ``stop_region`` supports a new input parameter, ``job_name`` so that you can use the job name, which is typically the CICS's - APPLID, to identify a running CICS region. +* ``region_jcl`` can be used to create a CICS startup JCL data set. +* ``stop_region`` can be used to stop a CICS region. -The group name for the CICS provisioning modules is ``region``.
