To test the agent, we perform two actions on the CICSĀ® Configuration
Manager agent program CCVSREMP:
- Newcopy the agent program: we expect this to fail, because the
agent program should be running.
- Phase-in the agent program: this should succeed.
Do these steps for each remote region:
- In the CICS Configuration
Manager ISPF
dialog, select primary menu option 2
CICS Resources.
- Enter S next to the CICS configuration
for the remote region.
- Type the filter:
CCVSREMP PROGRAM *
and then press Enter.
The
resource definition for the agent program appears in the list.
- Enter N (for "newcopy")
next to the resource definition.
A pop-up window appears for the
newcopy options.
For this first action, do not select the PHASEIN
option.
- Enter / next to the remote
system connection for the remote region.
The pop-up window closes.
The
Prompt column should display "*Errors" next to the resource definition.
This is expected. Proceed to the next step.
However, if the
top right corner of the panel displays the message "Command failed",
it means that the agent has not been configured correctly. Use the
following checklist to identify and correct the problem:
- Enter ? next to the resource
definition to display the reason for the failure.
An "exception
messages" pop-up window appears, showing messages from the agent.
The expected return code from the agent is 8; the expected last four
digits of the reason code are 0047 ("object is in use"). For
descriptions of all CICS Configuration
Manager reason
codes, see Reason codes.
- Enter N next to the resource
definition.
- Select the PHASEIN option.
- Enter / next to the remote system connection.
This
time, the Prompt column should display "*Newcopied" next to the
resource definition.
This completes the configuration procedure for the agent in this
remote region. Repeat stages
2 and 3 for other remote regions.
