You must completely remove any resource adapter supplied
with a previous version of the product before installing this version.
Local mode
If you are using local mode,
the native path of the resource adapter must point to the bin directory
of the CICS Transaction Gateway installation.
To
create this path on WebSphere® Application
Server:
- Navigate to Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource Adapters.
- Click the specific resource adapter.
- In the Native path box enter the full path
to the CICS Transaction Gateway <install_path>/bin
directory, for example:
/usr/lpp/cicstg/ctg900/bin
You must also set the environment variables that are relevant
to JCA in WebSphere Application
Server. For a local mode topology, the CICS Transaction Gateway environment
variables are specified using the WebSphere Administration
Console:
- CTG_EXCI_INIT determines whether or not EXCI is loaded (default
is YES if undefined). If EXCI is required, you must also set the STEPLIB
environment variable. You can also set CTG_PIPE_REUSE and DFHJVPIPE:
- STEPLIB identifies the library containing the default EXCI options
and the EXCI load modules (mandatory).
- CTG_PIPE_REUSE determines how allocated EXCI pipes are reused
(optional but recommended).
- DFHJVPIPE defines the name of the pipe that CICS® Transaction Gateway uses for EXCI calls
(optional but recommended).
For more information about what values to set for these
environment variables see Environment variables: local and remote mode.
For
more information about local mode see Configuring a local mode topology.
