Availability for CICS releases

Details of the connectivity of CICS® systems to releases of CICSPlex® SM are given in CICS system connectivity.

However, some resources are not available in all of the supported CICS releases. An Availability section in the discussion of each resource definition view identifies the CICS releases for which the resource can be defined. In addition, the Action commands section in the discussion of each of these views specifies action commands (such as INStall) for which availability is more limited. The online help for views and action commands also provides availability information.

When you display a resource definition view and your CICSplex includes systems running a release of CICS for which that resource is not available, those systems are not included in the view. When you issue a resource definition view command and your CICSplex consists solely of systems running a release of CICS that is not available, a message is displayed. A message is also displayed when you issue an action command that is not available for the release of CICS on which your CICS system is running.
