Thank you for the explanation about the shared class path. I have not been using it for my test programs so I have had to set JVMPOOL to 0 in order to get a new copy.
My main gripe is that CEMT SET PROG(javaprog) NEW seems to work - it produces a msg that the new load was okay - but it actually does nothing. Very misleading - I thought that there was some type of bug until I checked out the doc about loading new java modules into CICS. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Grieve Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 4:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Java question On Tue, 4 Aug 2009 16:03:13 -0400, Barkow, Eileen <[email protected]> wrote: >CICS compiles could still be done on the pc by just including dfjcics.jar in the classpath but then the module still has to be uploaded to the hfs file in order to run on CICS, which is not a big deal. >But there is still no real new copy facility for java programs - you just have to keep setting JVMPOOL to 0 in order to reload the module. > The Shared Class Cache in Java 5 (CICS TS 3.2) or Java 6 (CICS TS 4.1) automatically performs the equivalent of a program newcopy/phasein. There is no longer any need to phase out the entire JVM Pool and restart applications.
