The autoinstall control program at DELETE

To provide symmetry of control over the autoinstall process, the autoinstall control
program is also invoked when:

v

A session with a previously automatically-installed resource has been ended

v

An autoinstall request was accepted by the user program, but the subsequent
INSTALL process failed for some reason.

To make it easier for you to write your control program, these two events can be
considered to be identical. (There is no difference in the environment that exists, or
in the actions that might need to be performed.)

Invoking the control program at DELETE enables you to reverse the processes
carried out at the INSTALL event. For example, if the control program at INSTALL
incremented a count of the total number of automatically installed resources, then
the control program at DELETE would decrement that count.

The communication area at DELETE for terminals

Input to the program is via a communication area, addressed by DFHEICAP. The
layout of the communication area is shown in Figure 38.

The parameter list contains the following information:

1. Standard Header. Byte 1 indicates the request type. For deletion of local

terminals (including APPC single-session devices installed via CINIT requests)
the value is X'F1'.

Note: A value of X'F5' or X'F6' represents the deletion of a local APPC

connection that was installed by a BIND request—see page “The
autoinstall control program at DELETE” on page 549.
A value of X'FA' or
X'FB' represents the deletion of a shipped terminal or connection—see
page “The autoinstall control program at DELETE” on page 564. A value
of X'FC' represents the deletion of a client virtual terminal—see page
“The autoinstall control program at DELETE” on page 575.

2. The terminal identifier of the deleted resource, as shown in Table 27.
