The configuration file

The configuration file contains the values used by CICS® Transaction Gateway during initialization.

The configuration file has the default filename ctg.ini. You can specify a different location and optionally change the name of the configuration file by setting the CICSCLI environment variable. For more information see Specifying the configuration file.

To create a new configuration, either use the Configuration Tool, or edit a copy of the sample configuration file supplied in <install_path>/samples/configuration/ctgsamp.ini. Save the new configuration file in one of these locations:

For more information about the Configuration Tool see Creating a configuration file.

The configuration file is a text file that contains a number of sections. Each section begins with SECTION as the first entry on a line, and ends with ENDSECTION. You must define at least one section or CICS Transaction Gateway does not start. The section is typically either a SERVER section or an IPICSERVER section. Any parameters that you do not explicitly define in the configuration file take default values. Information about the default values is provided in the individual parameter descriptions.

To denote comments in the configuration file use the hash (#) character. You must put the hash (#) character at the start of the line, with only a space or tab character before it. Some names, for example modename, can begin with a hash (#) character.

There is no restriction on line length in the configuration file.
