System overview

The Web User Interface is accessed using standard web browser software that contacts a Web User Interface server, which is a dedicated CICS® region. You can have more than one Web User Interface server active; for example, you may have a requirement for different languages to be used or different systems available to different servers. The web browser client contacts the web server by an HTTP request via the CICS Web Interface.

The Web User Interface server runs as a CICSPlex® SM local MAS and communicates with the managed resources via the CMAS to which it is connected.

All the menu and view definitions are stored on a server repository. There is one repository for each Web User Interface server. The menu and view definitions can be exported for backup purposes, for distributing definitions to other servers, and for migrating menus and views between product releases.
