Appendix A: Validating Connectivity Using cicsping and snaping

Using a new transaction ID

The snaping utility requires the SYGWCAI1 program for CICS or the SYGWIAI1 program for IMS, which is accessed through the default SYI1 transaction.

The snaping utility requires the SYI1 transaction. You can rename the transaction; however, this transaction must be used.

If your systems programmer changes the name of the snaping mainframe transaction, run snaping using the -T parameter to specify the new transaction ID.

In the following examples, snaping runs against an z/OS mainframe transaction that has been renamed “SYT2.” Replace “SYT2” in the example with your own transaction ID.

For HP-UX, AIX, Sun Solaris, and Windows:
```
snaping -TSYT2
```
```
load snaping -TSYT2
```
