The prerequisites for CICS® Transaction
Gateway, CICS Transaction Server
and WebSphere® Application
Server.
Here are the system requirements for CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®:
- The server must be CICS Transaction
Server V3.2 or later because IPIC is not available in earlier releases
of CICS.
- TCP/IP services must be active in the CICS server.
- To activate these services, set the TCPIP system initialization
parameter to YES.
- To check the status of these services, issue a CEMT INQ TCPIP
command and check that the status is open.
- The CICS server must have
access to a TCP/IP stack running on the same LPAR.
- The TCP/IP network must extend between LPARs if CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS and the CICS server
exist on different LPARs.
Here are the system requirements for CICS Transaction Gateway:
Here are the system requirements for WebSphere Application Server:
- The Installation Verification Test (IVT) that you
run to test this scenario uses the ECI resource adapter, cicseci.rar
with XA support enabled. The resource adapter must be downloaded onto
the machine that runs the Web browser you use for accessing the WebSphere Application Server
Integrated Solutions Console. The resource adapter will be installed
as part of this scenario.
To test the scenario works successfully run the IVT. For
more information see JCA resource adapter installation verification test (IVT).
