After
you have installed CICS, and applied any necessary service, you can use the
CICS-supplied installation verification procedures (IVPs) to confirm that
CICS is operational.
There are two IVP jobs:
- 1. DFHIVPBT (verify batch)
- This job starts up CICS, specifying a pair of sequential input and output
devices (CARDIN and PRINTER) to be used instead of an ordinary terminal. It
then executes a number of CICS transactions that are read from CARDIN. The
last transaction in the input stream shuts down CICS.
- 2. DFHIVPOL (verify online)
- This job can run CICS with either XRF=NO, or XRF=YES. It is generated
with XRF=NO specified as an override, which you change when you are ready
to verify CICS with XRF.
You can use this CICS region to automatically
install (autoinstall) an IBM 3270 Information Display
System terminal, with which you can:
- Use the master terminal transaction, CEMT. You can also use CEMT from
the MVS system console. For information about using CEMT, see the CICS Supplied Transactions manual.
- Use the resource definition online transaction, CEDA. For information
about using CEDA, see the CICS® Resource Definition Guide .
- Use the sample application transaction AMNU, to access the sample VSAM
file, FILEA. For a description of the FILEA sample applications, see the CICS 4.1 Sample Applications Guide .
Before you run the IVP jobs, you will need to prepare your system.
The steps you need to perform are described in Preparation for running the IVPs.
