General Availability of CICS provisioning modules.

New modules released:

• aux_temp_storage - for the CICS auxiliary temporary storage data set. This module was initially released as auxiliary_temp with Version 1.1.0-beta.4. The module is changed to aux_temp_storage in Version 2.1.0.

• aux_trace - for the CICS auxiliary trace data sets. This module was initially released as trace with Version 1.1.0-beta.4. The module is changed to aux_trace in Version 2.1.0.

• transaction_dump - for the CICS transaction dump data sets. This module was initially released with Version 1.1.0-beta.4.

• region_jcl - Create a CICS startup JCL data set. This module replaces start_cics, which was released with Version 1.1.0-beta.5. region_jcl is significantly different from start_cics in function. region_jcl creates a data set that contains the startup JCL, but doesn't perform the actual startup processing.

• stop_region - Stop a CICS region. This module was initially released as stop_cics with Version 1.1.0-beta.5. The module is changed to stop_region in Version 2.1.0. In Version 2.1.0, stop_region supports a new input parameter, job_name so that you can use the job name, which is typically the CICS's APPLID, to identify a running CICS region.
