This section describes the options that you can specify for the initialization of an IBM® persistent reusable Java™® Virtual Machine (JVM) under CICS®.
You specify options for the JVM in a JVM profile, which is named by the program resource definition of a Java application program that requires a JVM with these options. JVM profiles are text files stored on HFS. Each JVM profile references a JVM properties file, which is another text file containing the system properties for the JVM. You can edit JVM profiles and JVM properties files using any standard text editor.
"How CICS creates JVMs" in Java Applications in CICS explains how CICS uses JVM profiles, and gives an overview of the options that you can specify using JVM profiles and JVM properties files. "Setting up JVM profiles and JVM properties files" in Java Applications in CICS tells you how to set up suitable JVM profiles and JVM properties files to meet the needs of your applications. To help you with that task, this section provides the following reference information:
