IBM® offers the following methods for installing CICS® TS:
- ServerPac
- CBPDO, using the SMP/E RECEIVE, APPLY, and ACCEPT commands
- CBPDO, using the DFHISTAR process
- IBM customized packages.
The first three of these are entitled offerings, and are the subject of
this book, but IBM customized packages are fee-based and are not discussed
except for the following summary information. Depending on the country in
which you order, you can purchase one of the following customized packages:
- A SystemPac®, which tailors CICS TS to your environment, such as DASD
layout and naming conventions, based on information provided to IBM.
- SoftwareXcel Installation Express (SIE), which tailors CICS TS to your
specification and provides services that perform the actual install for you.
- Other fee-based services and customized offerings.
Both the ServerPac and CBPDO methods of delivering CICS TS come with
a set of documentation that you use when you install the product. To help
you plan ahead, this chapter gives you a preview of some of this information,
such as the information contained in the Program Directory,
which is shipped regardless of the delivery method you choose.
Note:
The Program Directory is available in hardcopy
only with the product--it cannot be ordered separately. A
softcopy version is available on the CICS TS CD-ROM product kit, and also on the
Transaction Processing and Data Collection Kit, SK2T-0730. The Program Directory is also available on the CBPDO and ServerPac tapes.
This chapter also helps you with other planning steps you must take:
