Create a folder for the server working files

When the CICS® DA server is started for the first time, it creates a workspace and some log files on your z/OS® UNIX file system. You specify the location for the workspace and log files in the configuration tasks that follow this topic. However, you must create a folder and directory in your z/OS UNIX file system to contain the workspace and log files.

During the configuration tasks, you can also use this folder to save the working copies of the CICS DA environment variable file and the server properties file.

Procedure

  1. In your z/OS UNIX file system, create a folder for the CICS DA server files.
  2. Create a directory in the folder for use by this server. You can have multiple directories, each one for use by a different server instance. Make a note of the folder and directory path. You use the path when you run the remaining configuration steps.

What to do next

Complete the remaining tasks to configure CICS DA. For more information, see the related tasks.
