CICS tailoring

CICS can be tailored after the product base and NLFs have been installed. CICS can be tailored for both the base and any NLFs at the same time. However, modifications must be made to every CICS system that works with QMF.

During CICS tailoring, four CICS tables must be modified:

• Destination control table (DCT)
• File control table (FCT)
• PROGRAM resource (CSD) or processing program table (PPT)
• TRANSACTION resource (CSD) or program control table (PCT)

All four tables can be modified by assembling resource definition tables. Some of the tables can also be modified by defining resources online (RDO) in a CICS system definition (CS) data set. Use copyboooks and copy statements to change the tables. Similar copybooks and copy statements should exist for the NLF versions.

When CICS tailoring has been completed, the installation must be checked by following the IVPs for the base product and for each NLF.
