Before you can use change packages to migrate resource definitions between CICS® configurations,
you need to define migration schemes. These determine the source and target CICS configurations,
and other details of a migration.
We are going to create two migration schemes:
- TOURDT
- To migrate from the TOURDEVT CICS configuration to the TOURTEST CICS configuration.
("Development" to "Test".)
- TOURTP
- To migrate from TOURTEST to TOURPROD.
Figure 1. Guided tour: migration schemes,
and their source and target CICS configurations
- On the primary menu, select option 1.3 Migration Schemes.
- On the command line of the Migration Schemes list
panel, enter DEF
- Enter TOURDT as the name of the new migration scheme.
- On the edit panel for the new migration scheme, enter:
- A description (for example, "Guided tour Development to Test")
- A single migration path, with a source CICS configuration of TOURDEVT and a target CICS configuration
of TOURTEST.
This is as simple as a migration scheme gets: one source CICS configuration,
one target CICS configuration.
We will leave approval processing and transformation rules for later.
