System requirements for the batch housekeeping program

The batch housekeeping program has the following system requirements:

The journal housekeeping batch program initially connects to the CICS Configuration Manager server via Internet Protocol (IP), and then subsequently uses an EXCI connection to communicate with the server.

To allow the journal housekeeping batch program to communicate with the CICS Configuration Manager server via EXCI, the CICS region running the server must have a connection resource for the EXCI protocol, and a matching session resource.

If the CICS region does not have these resources, then you need to define them. The following figures show example EXCI connection and session resource definitions.
