A CICSplex management facility is a pair of linked CICS® regions: A CMAS and a Web
User Interface (WUI) server. CICSPlex® SM
uses the management facility to manage your CICS systems. You can use CICS DA to create a management facility from
templates that are supplied with the product. The templates are tailored
for your organization during the installation of the CICS DA server.
About this task
This task creates a management facility from the supplied
templates. You must have loaded a system model
and have an active connection before you can create a management facility.

one of the following options:

management facility.
The Create a CICSplex management facility wizard is displayed.

connection, the wizard selects that connection. You can choose a different
connection from the DA Connection list. If
you do not have an active connection, CICS DA
selects the first connection name in the list and displays the Signon window.
- Select the template that you want to use from the Template list
and complete the other fields.
- If you want CICS DA
to start the new management facility regions when they are created,
select the Start regions check box. Click Finish.

to the model. If Start regions is selected,
the management facility regions start. The CMAS and the CICSPlex SM server editors open showing
