Erasani_p,

The following actions need to be done
Code:

1. Compile the new Map
2. Issue a New Copy for the Map
3. Compile the PGM using that map
4. Issue a New Copy for the program


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

I do have to make an improvement to what Kolusu said:
Quote:

1. Compile the new Map
2. Issue a New Copy for the Map
3. Compile the PGM using that map
4. Issue a New Copy for the program

It should be done this way:
1. Compile the new Map
2. Compile the PGM using that map
3. Issue a New Copy for the Map
4. Issue a New Copy for the program

This way you will only have an inconsistent map and program between the two New Copies. The way Kolusu suggested could take quite a time until the program that is using the changed map is ready to be new copied - in that time the map and program will not coincide with one another, and your users will probably get crashes or at least have troubles working with the program.
In a production environment they should usually not be new copied at all, the next start of CICS will pick up the new copies, therefore avoiding any breaks in the production during the new copy processing. Actually, we use a transition library that is copied from after CICS has ended to make sure that the production system is not disturbed.
