To configure a new
CICS® Server,
select
New Server from the
Options menu, or from the toolbar,
or right click on the CICS Servers entry in the Navigation Panel.
Figure 1. Server
settings
Select a server in the navigation panel to display the Server connection
panel. The settings map to the parameters in a Server section of the configuration
file.

Multiple identical server definitions are not permitted in
the
configuration file of
the
CICS Universal Client. The combination
of fields that identify a server, and must therefore be unique is as follows:
- Protocol
- Fields in ctg.ini
- TCP/IP
- Hostname or IP address and Port.
This ensures that every connection that the
CICS region
and the network protocol see is represented by a unique server definition
in the
configuration file.
If you have existing
Client applications that
use different server names to send requests to the same
CICS region,
you need to write a user exit to redirect requests. This is demonstrated in
sample user exits ecix2.c and epix2.c; see <install_path>\samples\samples.txt.
