Deploying the ECI resource adapter on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS

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:
  1. Navigate to Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource Adapters.
  2. Click the specific resource adapter.
  3. 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.
