The base application includes a transaction (ECFG) that you can
use to configure the example application.
The configuration transaction uses mixed case information. You must
use a terminal that can handle mixed case information correctly.
The transaction lets you specify a number of aspects of the example
application. These include:
- The overall configuration of the application, such as the use of Web services
- The network addresses used by the Web services components of the application
- The names of resources, such as the file used for the data store
- The names of programs used for each component of the application
The configuration transaction lets you replace CICS-supplied components
of the example application with your own, without restarting the application.
- Enter the transaction ECFG to start the configuration application. CICS® displays
the following screen:
