Hi Graham, Assuming that you have changed the GRPLIST in the SYSIN SIT to include your LIST, i.er. the LIST which holds your group (GROUP1), then you should not need to perform an INSTALL after each START=INITIAL. I use an ADCD rather than a Dallas system but the process is the same as I mentioned in my earlier post.
If you are able to view your CICS system via SDSF, the relevant SYSIN should be in the JCL of that task which typically contains multiple steps, the first two being IDCAMS executions and the third is CICS itself. The SYSIN DD statement in this step will specify a data set name with a member name appended and it is this member name which will contain the SIT parameters probably starting with the APPLID. The GRPLIST parameter will be found here also and probably only points to XYZLIST which is an IBM provided list. To include your list simple code GRPLIST(XYZLIST,INITLIST),. (You are allowed up to 4 lists.) Given the data set names in your last post, and checking with the CICS42 procedure on my system I would expect the SYSIN data set to be called DFH420.SYSIN, which contains 6 DFHSIP members. If the default from the SIP symbolic parameter is being used then the member of interest would be DFH$SIP$1. I would recommend copying this member and changing the last digit so that CICS could be started with SIP=G say, to allow CICS to be started with /s cicsts42,SIP=G - start=initial should not be needed as it is the default in the procedure if it standard. I think I might have missed the DFHCSDUP ADD GROUP to LIST item as I thought I had read that into your original post but the sequence should be: DEFINE resources - Which creates new group if it is not already in existence ADD Group to LIST - Which creates new list if it is not already in existence Both of the above can be done with DFHCSDUP and if CICS is stopped and started with the new list in GRPLIST, there is no need for INSTALL which cannot be done via DFHCSDUP. I actually have a pair programs which exploit the CICS EXCI interface to allow INSTALL from batch but that's another story. Finally if you are happy to update an IBM list then your group have been added to XYZLIST. For preference I like to keep IBM supplied stuff pristine thus providing a fall-back position if and when things go pear shaped.
