CICS IA plug-in for CICS Explorer® level

The CICS® IA plug-in and APAR level are obtained from two places. The IBM® Support team will ask for one or both of these.

About this task

  • The level of the SMP/E zip file in SCIUJAVE or SCIUJAVK can be obtained by querying the CIU_VERSION table:
    SELECT DB_APAR_LEVEL,EXP_APAR_LEVEL,EXP_MIN_VER,EXP_LATEST_VER FROM CIU_VERSION 
    where:
    DB_APAR_LEVEL
    The APAR level of the latest changes to the CICS IA database.
    EXP_APAR_LEVEL
    The APAR level of the latest changes to the CICS IA plug-in.
    EXP_MIN_VER
    The minimum level of the CICS IA plug-in required on your workstation.
    EXP_LATEST_VER
    The latest level of the CICS IA plug-in that is available to download.
The CICS IA plug-in startup routine checks to see if it is equal to, or greater than, the EXP_MIN_LEVEL and issues an appropriate message to inform you to download and install the latest level of the CICS IA plug-in. The startup routine also checks against the EXP_LATEST_VER. If the current version is earlier then you are informed that a later version of the CICS IA plug-in is available to download.
