CICS DA configuration tool
CICS® DA supplies a configuration tool that you can use to quickly customize the sample jobs and create your CICS DA system. You can also edit existing CICS DA configuration files.
About this task
The CICS DA configuration tool guides you through the
required variables and prompts you to enter specific details for your enterprise.
When complete, the tool generates sample jobs based on the information that you
supplied. Then, you can review the customized JCL and make any additional updates
before you submit the jobs in sequence. For each of the configuration panels, you
can press F1 to view the help for that ISPF panel.
Attention: By using the configuration tool, you can reduce the time to
generate a CICS DA and avoid the manual
configuration process.
The configuration tool generates the jobs to configure CICS DA as outlined in the following topics. Therefore, if you use the
configuration tool, you do not have to manually complete these configuration steps.
The configuration tool generates the JCL for your CICS DA system, to authorize the CICS DA server ID, to configure the server properties file, and configure the CICS DA environment variables file.
