Configuring CICS

The CICS Configuration page consists of three areas:

• CICS Configuration panel, where you can save or cancel all current configurations made on the page.

• Package Available table lists all available CICS packages. Here packages can be added to the Package Selected table by selecting the desired items checkbox and clicking Add.

• Package Selected table lists all selected CICS packages. From Show list at the top of panel, you can switch to show the selected CICS package between two views:

  • Files: The Package view that lists package information. Clicking on Remove can remove all the selected packages from the table.

  • Merging: The Configuration File view that lists the merged same type configuration file from all selected CICS packages.

Each package may contain a set of resource files. During the process of adding each package to the domain, the .desc files with the same name are merged into one file, which is shown in Configuration File view.

Conflict validation is performed on the merged file. Once a conflict is detected, an error message is shown and the confliction content is highlighted in Red color. Clicking the relative shows the conflict details.
