This section shows you how to define the data sets you need to run CICS®. Some of these data sets are mandatory, whereas others are needed only if you are using the corresponding facilities. You may also need to provide data set definitions for user files, DL/I databases, and terminals other than VTAM® terminals.
Space calculations are given so that you can calculate the space to allocate to the data sets, and the data definition statements to define them to the running CICS region.
CICS utility programs provided for postprocessing of the data sets are described in the CICS Operations and Utilities Guide.
