Stage 1. Define a CICS configuration for the local region
Do these steps once only:
- Start the CICSĀ® Configuration Manager ISPF dialog. For details, see Start the ISPF dialog interface.
- Select primary menu option 1 Administer.
- On the Administration menu, select
option 2 CICS Configurations.
The list of existing CICS configurations appears. If you have just installed CICS Configuration Manager, this list will be empty.
- On the command line, enter DEF
A pop-up window appears, prompting for the name of the new CICS configuration and, optionally, the name of an existing CICS configuration to use as a model.
- Enter a name for the new CICS configuration. Suggestion: CICSCM
Do not use the name CCVSVR: this name is reserved for use by CICS Configuration Manager.
Leave the model name blank (we do not want to base this CICS configuration on an existing one).
- On the edit panel for the new CICS configuration,
enter:
- A description. Suggestion: CCV server
- The fully-qualified data set name of the CSD file used by the local region (without enclosing quotes).
- A description.
- On the command line, enter SAVE
- Press the Exit key
(F3) to return
to the list of CICS configurations. Tip: If you want the Exit key (F3) to automatically save changes, so that you do not have to explicitly enter SAVE before exiting, then open the pull-down menu and set save confirmation off.
