You should always use a CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1
system to act as your Web User Interface server. In order to configure CICS web
support you should:
- Include the CICS resource definition group, DFHWEB,
in the group list referenced by the GRPLIST system initialization
parameter of your CICS system.
- Run the CICS Web support sample application, DFH$WB1A,
to ensure that CICS Web support has been set up correctly.
For more information about specifying CICS system
initialization parameters and defining resources to CICS for CICS Web
support, see the CICS Internet Guide.
If you wish to use the secure sockets layer (SSL) you should also:
- Create a key database containing a certificate
- Specify the appropriate system initialization parameters
- Install the appropriate resource definitions
For more information about SSL, see the CICS Internet Guide.
Notes:
- You do not need to write your own Analyzer or Converter programs
as these are provided with the Web User Interface.
- On the Web User Interface initialization the TCPIPSERVICE is created
and opened for you by the Web User Interface. You do, however, need
to create a temporary TCPIPSERVICE definition to run the CICS Web
support sample application. This temporary TCPIPSERVICE definition
should be discarded after CICS Web support has been tested and
before Web User Interface initialization has begun.
- The Web User Interface can either use the default certificate
in the key database or a named certificate. However, it can only use
a named certificate provided that the label contains only alphanumeric
characters and is a maximum of 32 characters.
- The use of pre-CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 3 Release 1
systems as Web User Interface servers is not supported.
