Problem:

What is the program MER0HDPG used for and why does it use EXECKEY(CICS) instead of EXECKEY(USER) - which is what all the other SOA Express host programs are defined as?
 
       DEFINE PROGRAM(MER0HDPG) GROUP(MFCMPGEN)
       LANGUAGE(COBOL) RELOAD(NO) RESIDENT(NO) USAGE(NORMAL)
       USELPACOPY(NO) STATUS(ENABLED) CEDF(YES) DATALOCATION(BELOW)
       EXECKEY(CICS) CONCURRENCY(QUASIRENT) DYNAMIC(NO)
       EXECUTIONSET(FULLAPI) JVM(NO) JVMPROFILE(DFHJVMPR) HOTPOOL(NO)

Resolution:

MER0HDPG is a program that is used with our 2-tier CICS support. The EXECKEY(CICS) is not necessary and can be changed to EXECKEY(USER).
