Before you can complete this scenario, you must ensure
that the system requirements for CICS Transaction Server, CICS Transaction
Gateway, and WebSphere Application Server are satisfied.
CICS® Transaction Server:
- The CICS server version 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 SEC system initialization parameter must be set to YES to
enable security.
CICS Transaction Gateway:
- CICS Transaction Gateway
must be correctly installed.
WebSphere® Application
Server:
- WebSphere Application
Server must be installed on the same machine as CICS Transaction Gateway.
To test that the scenario works successfully you can use either
the supplied samples, or your own applications. If you use the supplied
samples you must complete the following tasks:
- Install the sample CICS COBOL
programs EC01, EC03 on the CICS server.
