Configuring CICS DA V5.3.0
When the CICS® DA installation on your z/OS® system is complete, you must configure the CICS DA server to complete the setup.
Procedure
You must complete the following tasks before you can start
the CICS DA server. The tasks
contain example commands, which are provided for guidance only. Your
security administrator must determine the correct commands for your
organization.
- 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. - CICS DA advanced configuration
When you configure CICS DA, depending on your enterprise, you might want to implement tighter controls over the discovery function and restrict specific commands. - Authorize CICS DA resources
You must ensure that the CICS DA libraries are correctly authorized: The CICS DA SCPHAUTH library must be APF-authorized, and program control must be established for the CICS DA load library and the CICS DA zFS programs. - Authorize CICS DA users
To invoke CICS DA function, users can issue requests to the server to run specific commands. You can choose to either authorize the CICS DA server or you can use a client ID, a CICS DA user, with the relevant authority to invoke the CICS DA function, such as discovery. - Allocate an audit log
You must allocate an audit log for CICS DA. The audit log lists all the commands that the CICS DA server runs, or attempts to run, as a result of a user action. The audit log also identifies the user ID that requested the action. - 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. - Configure CICS DA
You must configure the CICS DA server properties file, the CICS DA environment variable file, the CICS DA template files, and the CICS DA server start procedure. Sample files are provided during the product installation in the z/OS UNIX directory /usr/lpp/cicsda/v530 that was created during the SMP/E process, and these files can be tailored for your environment. - Configure CICS
You must create a CICS terminal definition for the console. The terminal definition might be a predefined terminal definition, with the CONSNAME option set to match the console name in use (the user ID in the case of CICS DA). - Upgrading the CICS DA model from a previous version
If you have a model that was created by CICS DA Version 5.2, you must follow these steps to upgrade it to a Version 5.3 model. If you decide not to upgrade the model, any local data in the V5.2 model, such as start policies or tagging, is not transferred to the V5.3 model. Use the following details to guide you through the steps that are required to upgrade a CICS DA Version 5.2 model to a Version 5.3 model. - Starting and stopping the CICS DA server
When all the configuration steps are complete, you can then start the CICS DA server. This task also explains how to stop the CICS DA server.
