After you have installed and set up the CICS® Service Flow Runtime, you can use the supplied installation verification procedure (IVP) to confirm that the runtime environment is operational.
The IVP checks the configuration of the runtime environment by using pregenerated flows and the respective adapters for each type that are supported. You can select the appropriate adapters for your runtime environment using a simple interface. This provides you with the status of the IVP as it checks each adapter, and reports if the IVP fails for any reason.
The IVP uses sample programs, files, and transactions, that are optionally copied to and configured in the runtime libraries, depending on the parameters that you used when setting up the runtime environment. This section outlines the steps for ensuring that the necessary IVP resources are in place, as well as how to run the IVP from a CICS terminal.
As
an optional step, you can also use the provided simulator program to initiate
the business transactions that simulate CICS Service
Flow Runtime processing.
A positive response is another indication that the CICS Service
Flow Runtime is
properly installed.
The IVP instructions are documented in the following sections:
