To set up a platform where you can deploy applications,
you create and deploy a CICS® Platform
project, then use a platform definition to install the platform in
a CICSplex. You can troubleshoot, modify, or discard an installed
platform.
Before you create a new CICS Platform project, you must set up a platform
home directory in zFS. For instructions to do this, see Creating a platform home directory in zFS in
the CICS TS 5.1 Information Center.
