To define APPLID of current CICS region, you can either specify CLOPT “-a” (the following listing) or specify APPLID parameters in system.desc (the following listing Example to Specify APPLID).

Listing Example to Specify CLOPT "-a"

*SERVERS
 CLOPT=”-- -a abcdefgh“

Listing Example to Specify APPLID

[KIXR]
APPLID=1234567a

Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS will firstly check whether CLOPT “-a” is specified. If it is, its value will be used as JOBNAME; otherwise, the value of APPLID set in system.desc file will be used as JOBNAME. If neither “-a” nor APPLID in system.desc is set, default value DBDCCICS will be used.

In either ways, if the value is more than 8 characters, it will be truncated to contain only the first 8 characters; if the value is less than 8 characters, APPLID will be padded spaces afterward to be just 8 characters.
