For more information about specifying CICS system initialization parameters and defining resources to CICS for CICS Web support, see the CICS Internet Guide.

If you wish to use the secure sockets layer (SSL) you should also:

For more information about SSL, see the CICS Internet Guide.

Notes:
  1. You do not need to write your own Analyzer or Converter programs as these are provided with the Web User Interface.
  2. On the Web User Interface initialization the TCPIPSERVICE is created and opened for you by the Web User Interface. You do, however, need to create a temporary TCPIPSERVICE definition to run the CICS Web support sample application. This temporary TCPIPSERVICE definition should be discarded after CICS Web support has been tested and before Web User Interface initialization has begun.
  3. The Web User Interface can either use the default certificate in the key database or a named certificate. However, it can only use a named certificate provided that the label contains only alphanumeric characters and is a maximum of 32 characters.
  4. The use of pre-CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 3 Release 1 systems as Web User Interface servers is not supported.
