Configuring the IPIC server on CICS TG

You must edit the ctg.ini file to identify your CICS® TG to CICS and to define a server definition for the Gateway daemon to communicate with CICS over IPIC in remote mode.

  1. To identify your CICS TG to CICS when connecting over IPIC, you must define your APPLID and APPLIDQUALIFIER, in uppercase, in the PRODUCT section of the ctg.ini file.
    For example:
    SECTION PRODUCT
        APPLID=MYAPPL
        APPLIDQUALIFIER=MYQUAL
    ENDSECTION
  2. To define an IPICSERVER definition for your CICS server:
    1. Set HOSTNAME to the TCP/IP host name or TCP/IP address on which CICS is listening.
    2. Set PORT to the port number that your CICS server uses to listen for incoming IPIC requests.
    For example:
    SECTION IPICSERVER = CICSA
        HOSTNAME=cicssrv2.company.com
        PORT=50889
    ENDSECTION
  3. Save your updated ctg.ini file.
  4. Edit the CTGS02A1 data set and define the configuration and Java paths:
    1. Replace <config_path> with the directory that ctg.ini is stored in.
    2. Replace <java_path> with your Java 7 install path. For example:
      CICSCLI=/u/ctguser/ctg.ini
      PATH=/bin:/java/java70/bin
  5. Save the updated CTGS02A1 data set.
  6. Start CICS TG to apply the new definitions.
