The PlexManager option

The PlexManager functions of CICSPlex® SM allow you to manage CASs and their connections to other CICSPlex SM entities. In particular, PlexManager is used to determine the status of:

This is not a function that will be required frequently or by most users, and so a brief description only is included in this book. For a detailed description of the PlexManager functions, see CICSPlex System Manager Administration.

The PLEXOVER view, which is displayed when you select option 1 from the CICSPlex System Manager entry panel is shown in Figure 3. This view identifies the CASs, CMASs, and CICSplexes known to the CAS that is the context of this PlexManager session.

You can use the PLEXOVER view to change the context that is to be in effect during your CICSPlex SM session. The new context must be listed in the context column of the PLEXOVER view, and its status value must be Active. To change the context:

If you select a CMAS or CICSplex as the new context, the CICSPlex SM MENU menu (which is shown in Figure 4) is displayed and the context is set to the designated CMAS or CICSplex. If you select a different CAS as the new context, the list of PlexManager views (the VIEWS view) is displayed.
