For your CICSPlex® SM configuration, you need to define:
- CAS-to-CAS links
- The CMAS configuration
CAS-to-CAS links are defined using the PlexManager service utility. You can
use PlexManager also to determine the status of the connections between a CAS
and its associated CICSPlex SM address spaces (CMASs) and CICSplexes, and
to manage the connections between CASs.
Defining CAS-to-CAS links is one step in the process of installing a CAS,
which forms part of the setup procedure. This is described in detail in CICSPlex System Manager Administration.
Managing your CAS environment
You can use the following PlexManager views to manage your CAS environment:
- CASACT
- Manage the activity of your VTAM cross-system communication links.
- CASDEF
- Create and maintain CAS cross-system communication definitions.
- CASDEFD
- Display information about a specific CAS definition.
- PLEX
- Display a list of the available combinations of product and context (or service points) in one or more systems known to
the CAS to which you are currently connected.
- PLEXOVER
- Display a list, by context, of the available service points known to
the CAS to which you are currently connected.
- SCREENS
- Display a list of user-created screen configurations.
For each CMAS you
have defined, you must provide the following information to CICSPlex SM:
- The name of each CICSplex that it is to manage, if it is a maintenance-point
CMAS
- Link definitions for each CMAS to which it is connected
To enter this information,
you can use the appropriate CMAS Configuration Administration (ADMCONFG) views,
or the batched repository-update facility.
Managing the CMAS configuration
You use the following views to manage your CMAS configuration:
- BATCHREP
- To create, update, remove, list, or dump one or more definitions from
the data repository associated with the local CMAS.
- CMTCMDEF
- To display information about the direct LU6.2 and MRO communication
links between the local CMAS and any other CMASs.
- CPLEXDEF
- To define a CICSplex to the local CMAS and to administer CICSplex definitions
for the local CMAS.
- CPLXCMAS
- To administer information about CMASs associated with a CICSplex, where
the local CMAS is the maintenance point for that CICSplex.
CICSPlex SM also provides the following views that you can use to manage CMAS
configuration definitions when the associated CMASs are active.
- CICSPLEX
- To display information about the CMASs associated with a CICSplex known
to the local CMAS.
- CMAS
- To display information about CMASs known to the local CMAS, shut
down a CMAS, and alter CMAS component trace settings.
- CMASD
- To display information about a specific CMAS known to the local CMAS,
shut down a CMAS, and alter CMAS component trace settings.
- CMASPLEX
- To display information about the CICSplexes being managed by the local CMAS.
- CMTCMLNK
- To display information about all or specific CMASs linked to the local CMAS and
to discard a CMAS-to-CMAS link.
- CMTCMLND
- To display information about the link between a specific CMAS and
the local CMAS and to discard the CMAS-to-CMAS link.
- CMTPMLNK
- To display information about all or specific MASs linked to the local CMAS and
to discard the CMAS-to-MAS link.
- CMTPMLND
- To display information about a specific MAS linked to the local CMAS and
to discard the CMAS-to-MAS link.
See CICSPlex System Manager Administration for details of all these views.
