Defining your CICSPlex SM configuration

For your CICSPlex® SM configuration, you need to define:

Defining CAS-to-CAS links

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.

Defining the CMAS configuration

Start of changeFor each CMAS you have defined, you must provide the following information to CICSPlex SM:

End of change

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.
