Starting CKTI automatically

To automate the starting of CKTIs under a specific user ID, we can use an automation product, for example, NetView. We can use this to sign on to a CICS console and issue the STARTCKTI command.

We can also use preset security sequential terminals, which have been defined to emulate a CRLP terminal, with the sequential terminal input containing the CKQC STARTCKTI command.

However, when the CICS adapter alert monitor reconnects CICS to WebSphere MQ, for example, after a queue manager restart, only the CKTI specified at the initial WebSphere MQ connection is restarted. You must automate starting any extra CKTIs yourself.
