# How Autoinstall Works In CICS Without PPT Entry

[In CICS](https://srinimf.com/2015/06/29/mainframe-3-simple-ideas-to-handle-cursor-position-in-cics/) with [AUTO INSTALL](https://srinimf.com/2017/03/14/what-is-set-auto-install-in-cics/) option we no need to define each program/map to PPT entry. If Autoinstall is yes, CICS will dynamically install the definition for program/map when requested.

If AUTOINSTALL is active, whenever those programs/maps requested, the definitions will be installed by CICS dynamically.

**The following scenarios AUTOINSTALL works:**

1. EXEC CICS LINK
2. EXEC CICS XCTL
3. EXEC CICS LOAD
4. EXEC CICS SEND MAP
5. EXEC CICS RECEIVE MAP

The installation parameter must be set as AICONS=*YES, for auto installation.*
