Table 3-5 TS Queue Parameters

Field Name Type Values Description
TSMODEL X(8) Mandatory Name of the TS Queue model.
GROUP X(10) Mandatory The group notion of CICS allowing a group of related resources to be declared and instantiated or not by a CICS system when starting.
DESCRIPTION X(60) Optional A small textual zone for description of the resource.
LOCATION X(9) AUXILIARY | MAIN Specifies the kind of storage to use.
  • AUXILIARY (default): Both RDBMS-based location and file-based location are supported. If RECOVERY is set to Y, database-based location is used; If RECOVERY is set to N, file-based location is used.
  • MAIN: TSQ in main storage is used. This can get better access performance. TSQ data stored in main storage is unrecoverable.
PREFIX XPREFIX X(16) Mandatory Specifies the character string that is to be used as the prefix for this model. The prefix may be up to 16 characters in length.
RECOVERY X(1) N|Y Specifies whether or not queues matching this model are to be recoverable.
  • Y: Queue is stored in the RDBMS to provide recovery capabilities.
  • N (default): Queue is stored in file or main storage, and does not support recovery capabilities.
POOLNAME X(8) Optional Deprecated. There are other ways on target to arrive to the same result.

Specifies the 8-character name of the shared TS pool definition that you want to use with this TSMODEL definition.
REMOTESYSTEM X(4) Optional Reserved for future use.

On source platform, specifies the name of the connection that links the local system to the remote system where the temporary storage queue resides.

On the target platform, used only in case of TS shipping to another system, either another TUXEDO system or native CICS system.
REMOTEPREFIX XREMOTEPREFIX X(16) Optional Reserved for future use.

Specifies the character string that is to be used as the prefix on the remote system. The prefix may be up to 16 characters in length.

These options are useful (on source and target platforms) only if one wants to translate queue name when shipping TS Queue access from one system to another.
SECURITY X(1) N|Y Reserved for future use.

Specifies whether security checking is to be performed for queues matching this model.

The default value is N.
