CICSplex editor

The CICSplex editor shows the related CICS® regions in the selected CICSplex. The view shows only the regions on MVS™ images that were included in the discovery operation.

The view name identifies the name of the object and the object type. In the following screen capture, the object shown is called ANDYPLX1 and it is a CICSplex.

The view has 4 sections showing the Groups, CICS regions, CMASes and Web User Interface server in the CICSplex. You can select a CICS region, CMAS or a Web User Interface server and click Open to show further information about the resource in the resource specific editor.

Alternatively you can select a Web User Interface (WUI) resource and click Connect to connect to the CICSplex through the WUI port. When you connect you can choose to open the CICS SM perspective or only the CICSplex Explorer view. When you have connected to the CICSplex you can navigate through the CICSplex resources using the CICS Explorer™ views. You must have the correct authorization to connect to the CICSplex.

The Groups section shows the CICS system groups in the CICSplex. You can create new groups, remove groups, edit existing groups to add or remove regions or groups, and apply your changes.
