This learning path is intended for system administrators who are
preparing to install CICSPlex System Manager to use the Web User Interface
(WUI). It does not cover installing CICSPlex SM to use the ISPF end-user interface
and CAS.
CICSPlex System Manager is a system management component of CICS TS 3.1.
It enables you to manage multiple CICS systems from a single control point.
This learning path describes how to install and set up CICSPlex SM to manage
a CICSplex using two CICSPlex SM address spaces (CMASs) and the WUI. The WUI
is a customizable, platform-independent interface for your web browser. The
server component of the WUI runs on a dedicated local MAS connected to a CMAS
at the same release level. The environment that this learning path describes
is outlined in the following figure. Each step of the learning path will build
up the view of this diagram until you have a complete picture. The examples
and code samples that are used in the following topics relate to the names
of different components in the diagram.
