Managing adapter services

When you have successfully deployed one or more adapter services into CICS, you can use a combination of CICS commands and supplied jobs to administer them.

The properties file contains the complete record of every adapter service that has been deployed into the runtime environment. Every adapter service is also associated with a PROCESSTYPE resource.

If you are using the recommended method of defining a PROCESSTYPE resource with the same name as the request name of the modeled flow, you can use CICS commands to inquire, disable and re-enable the PROCESSTYPE resources that are defined in the runtime environment. This allows you to easily see what resources are defined, and therefore what adapter services are deployed in the runtime environment, as well as removing access temporarily or permanently to a deployed adapter service.

Otherwise you can dump the properties file to view all of the adapter services.
