Product libraries
To install CICSĀ® Configuration Manager, the first step is to create the product libraries, as described in the CICS Configuration Manager: Program Directory.
CICS Configuration Manager consists of the following product libraries:
- Load module libraries:
- SCCVAlang
- National language support (NLS) load module library. Used by the CICS Configuration Manager server and batch client.
- SCCVAUTH
Authorized program load module library. In CICS Configuration Manager V5.3, SCCVAUTH contains no authorized programs. However, it contains copies of programs CCVBHKP and CCVBMAIN that are also in the SCCVLINK data set. The reason for the duplication is to minimize customer JCL changes when upgrading from CICS Configuration Manager V5.2 to V5.3.
- SCCVLINK
- Application load module library for the CICS Configuration Manager server and its ISPF client. (The CICS Configuration Manager server uses only two product libraries: this library and SCCVAlang.)
- Libraries used only by the CICS Configuration
Manager ISPF dialog client:
- SCCVEXEC
- ISPF REXX EXEC library
- SCCVMlang
- ISPF message library
- SCCVPlang
- ISPF panel library
- SCCVSlang
- ISPF skeleton JCL library (the ISPF dialog uses the members in this library to submit batch jobs)
- SCCVTlang
- ISPF table library
- Sample libraries:
- SCCVSAMP
- Includes skeleton JCL for installation jobs, XML schema for the SOAP API, sample user exit programs, and layout definitions for user exit parameters
- SCCVSAM2
- Contains sample members with records wider than 80 bytes, such as input data sets for DATATAKEUP (the batch command for defining CICS configurations)
where lang is one of
the following 3-character national language codes:
- ENU
- U.S. English
- JPN
- Japanese
The following figure illustrates which product libraries are used by each CICS Configuration Manager component.

Manager component


CICS Configuration Manager programs must be located in libraries specified via a STEPLIB or JOBLIB DD card; alternatively, they may be placed in a link-listed data set.
