If you used CBPDO to install CICS®, edit and run DFHISTAR to tailor the CICS-supplied skeleton jobs that create the CICS data sets and run the CICS-supplied IVPs.
If you used the ServerPac to install CICS, the install job stream name is ISTAR01. ISTAR01 is produced from DFHISTAR during the ServerPac process, and placed in the SDFHINST library. DFHISTAR is not removed from the SDFHINST library by this process.
If you have used the distribution tape to install CICS, as described in the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® Program Directory, you would normally have tailored the skeleton jobs already, and should now be able to proceed to Creating the CICS data sets.
Which ever method you used to install CICS, you can edit and run DFHISTAR several times, to create different copies of the skeleton jobs or subsequently change them. For example, to create several copies of DFHDEFDS to define data sets unique to several CICS regions, or if you have to apply service to any of the installation-related jobs. This enables you to tailor the jobs to your CICS environment after you have loaded the CICS software into the SMP/E-supported CICS libraries.
