This panel is used to define an MVS Image
to CICS PA.
The definition includes:
- MVS (SMF) ID of the MVS Image where CICS® APPLIDs, DB2® SSIDs, MQ SSIDs, or System Loggers run
- Description of the Image
- Files the Image uses
- Groups the Image belongs to
Scroll Right (F11) to switch between Files and Groups. Files is the initial view. However, for each system, CICS PA remembers its last view and returns there next time.
The Image details are:
- MVS Image
- The name of the MVS Image. The Image name must be unique. An Image name is up to eight alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters.
- Description
- Description is free-format text up to 36 characters to describe the MVS system. This is for your reference only, although CICS PA will insert it as a comment in your Report Set JCL.
The primary commands are the same as on the CICS System panel. See CICS System (APPLID) definition.
The lists of related Files and Groups work the same here as on the CICS System panel. See Files the System uses for the Files and Groups the System belongs to for the Groups.
