Installing CICS resources dynamically

This section provides examples of the various methods that CICSPlex® SM supports for installing resources dynamically into active CICS® systems using the Web User Interface (WUI). These methods are similar to the installation options provided by CEDA.

Installing an individual resource

This example installs an individual program into an active CICS system.

  1. Display a list of the programs defined to CICSPlex SM.
    1. From the WUI main menu, click Administration views-->Basic CICS resource administration views-->CICS resource definitions-->Program definitions to open the Program definition tabular view.
    2. If the current context is not EYUPLX01, specify EYUPLX01 in the Context field and click Refresh.
  2. Install the EYUWLMVP program.
    1. Select the entry for EYUWLMVP and click the Install action button. The Install is displayed.
    2. In the Target Scope value field type in EYUMAS2A and click Yes. Press Enter. The program EYUWLMVP is installed in EYUMAS2A and the Program definition tabular view is redisplayed.

Installing resources from a resource group

This example installs the programs defined in a given resource group into an active CICS system.

  1. Display a list of the resource groups defined to CICSPlex SM.
    1. From the WUI main menu, click Administration views-->Basic CICS resource administration views-->Resource groups to open the Resource group definition tabular view.
    2. If the current context is not EYUPLX01, specify EYUPLX01 in the Context field and click Refresh.
  2. Install the programs in resource group EYUBAG01.
    1. Select the entry for EYUBAG01 and click the Install action button.
    2. Complete the Install panel as follows:
      Resource type
      PROGDEF
      Target scope value
      EYUMAS2A
      The other fields can remain unchanged.
    3. Click Yes. All of the programs defined in EYUBAG01 are installed in EYUMAS2A and the Resource group definition tabular view is redisplayed.

Installing a resource description

This example installs all of the resources associated with a given resource description into one or more active CICS systems.

  1. Display a list of the resource descriptions defined to CICSPlex SM.
    1. From the WUI main menu, click Administration views-->Basic CICS resource administration views-->Resource descriptions to open the Resource description tabular view.
    2. If the current context is not EYUPLX01, specify EYUPLX01 in the Context field and click Refresh.
  2. Install resource description EYUBAD01.
    1. Select the entry for EYUBAD01 and click the Install action button. The Install panel is displayed.
    2. Accept the supplied values and click Yes.

      All of the resources associated with EYUBAD01 are installed according to the target and related scopes named in that resource description. The Resource description tabular view is redisplayed.
