You need to configure the agent in each remote region. Here is
a summary of the configuration steps for each remote region:
- 1
- Create an MRO link or an ISC link between the remote region and
the local region.
To create this link, you must define
two resources in the local region, and two corresponding resources
in the remote region, of the following types:
In the procedure following this overview, we will use CICS® Configuration Manager to define these
resources. Before we can do that, we need to define CICS configurations
for the CSD files used by these regions; this is also described in
the procedure.
When defining the CICS configuration
for the CSD file used by the remote region, we specify a remote system
connection name. This is the name of the connection resource definition,
in the CSD file used by the local region, that refers to the remote
region.

Define the CICS Configuration Manager resources
in the remote CICS region. These resources are described in
member CCVXCSDR of the sample library SCCVSAMP. Review and install
these resources into each remote CICS region
managed by CICS Configuration Manager.
These resources include:- Transaction CCVR
- The mirror transaction that the CICS Configuration Manager server invokes
to start the agent programs in the remote region.
- Programs CCVxxxxx
- The agent programs that CICS Configuration Manager uses to collect
data or execute commands.
- TDqueue CCVM
- A transient data queue used for collecting data.

- 3
- Ensure that the library concatenation DFHRPL of the
remote CICS region contains the
CICS Configuration Manager agent programs
(CCVxxxxx),
using one of the following methods:- Edit the startup job, and add to DFHRPL the CICS Configuration Manager application load
library SCCVLINK containing the agent programs
- CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® Version
3.2, or later: define and install a library resource that refers to
the CICS Configuration Manager application
load library
- Copy the agent programs to a library that is already listed in
DFHRPL
- 4
- If you updated DFHRPL by editing the startup job, then restart
the remote CICS region.
- 5
Install the newly defined resources.
