Also, you should remove the parameters such as REUSE, RSL, and
DEVICE from the DCT specification; these parameter are obsolete.
Note:
CICS TS provides a facility that allows an extrapartition data
set to be used to submit jobs to MVS.
FCT
Remove the CSD entry from FCT (it is now in the SIT), plus all VSAM
entries (VSAM resource entries are autoinstall) from the FCT, then
re-assemble the FCT and migrate the table to the CSD.
JCT
INPUT
″ 
JOUROPT and BUFSUV parameters are obsolete. CICS
Transaction Server does not support tape logging. Also, note that log
format is SMF only.
MCT
Additional control over what is monitored is available with CICS/ESA.
Measuring CPU time is no longer an option, CICS always measures
CPU time. Also, parameter CONV is replaced by SIT parameter
MNCONV. If your existing MCT specifies CONV=YES, you should
remove this and specify MNCONV as a system initialization
parameter (or you can set the option dynamically using a CEMT SET
MONITOR or EXEC CICS SET MONITOR command).
NLT
is obsolete.
PCT
is obsolete, you must use RDO. Be sure to migrate all PCT entries to
CSD on VSE before migrating to CICS/ESA.
PLT
The sequence of events during initialization is changed in CICS/ESA.
In particular, there are now two phases of program list table (PLT)
processing during initialization. These two phases are separated in
the same way as the first and second quiesce PLT shutdown
programs, by the inclusion of DFHPLT
TYPE=ENTRY,PROGRAM=DFHDELIM at the appropriate point among
the DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY macros for the programs. During the first
phase, you can run only the programs that enable your user exits for
restart processing. Another result of the change to PLT processing
during startup is in the way CICS loads the PLT. This change means
that you no longer need an RDO entry for the PLT itself. However, you
must continue to define to CICS the PLT programs listed in the table
by suitable program entries in the CSD. Please note that the
first-phase PLTPI programs must run in AMODE 31 mode, otherwise
they fail with an ABEND 0C4.
PPT
is obsolete, you must use RDO. You are recommended not to migrate
the definitions, but use the new autoinstall facility for programs and
maps instead. Plus, you should review all resident programs on your
CICS/VSE system. If the only reason a program was made resident
was due to high usage, this reason is now eliminated (CICS/ESA uses
an LRU algorithm for compression).
SNT
DFHSNT macro is obsolete and no longer supplied. To define user
attributes you must add them to the user profiles maintained by your
external security manager. If you are using RACF, you define user
attributes in the CICS segment of the user profiles in the RACF
database.
SRT
review the default CICS/ESA table for additional entries, other than
the standard MVS error codes.
