Define CICS resources

The CICSĀ® Configuration Manager server requires a set of CICS resource definitions. The following steps add these resource definitions to the group CCV510 in the CSD file used by the CICS region that you have chosen for the CICS Configuration Manager server.

  1. Edit the resource definitions in the following member of the sample library SCCVSAMP:
    CCVXCSDD
    Contains resource definitions for the CICS Configuration Manager server, in the group CCV510.
    • Replace the <DATAHLQ>.<SVRAPPL> placeholders with the high-level qualifiers of the data sets that you want the CICS Configuration Manager server to use.
    • Optionally, if you have specific site standards for managing LSR pools, change the LSRPOOLID attribute of file definitions to refer to the local shared resource (LSR) pools of your choice.

      The file definitions in this sample member specify either LSRPOOLID(1) or LSRPOOLID(8). However, the sample member explicitly defines only LSRPOOL8; it does not explicitly define LSRPOOL1.

      If you decide to change the file definitions that specify LSRPOOLID(1), then either specify the number of an LSR pool that is not explicitly defined, or specify the number of an explicitly defined LSR pool that has at least the buffer sizes, MAXKEYLENGTH attribute value, and STRING attribute value of the LSRPOOLID8 definition in this sample member.

      If you decide to change the file definitions that specify LSRPOOLID(8), then specify the number of an explicitly defined LSR pool that has at least the buffer sizes, MAXKEYLENGTH attribute value, and STRING attribute value of the LSRPOOLID8 definition in this sample member.

    • If you have increased the value of the priority attribute of the CICS-supplied CWBA transaction from its default value of 1, then change the priority attributes of the CCV-prefixed transaction resource definitions (CCVA, CCVB, etc.) so that they are equal to or greater than the priority of CWBA. For example, if the priority of CWBA is 3, the priority of the CCV* transactions must not be 1 or 2; they must be 3 or greater.

      If the CCV* transactions have lower priority than CWBA, the following symptoms can occur:

      • CICS Configuration Manager clients experience an indefinite wait for a response from the CICS Configuration Manager server.
      • The CICS task for the CICS Configuration Manager server region exhibits high CPU usage.
    • The transient data queue CCVX is used only for deployment analysis. The CICS Configuration Manager server uses this transient data queue to read the filter file specified by the FILTERDATASET parameter of the DEPLOY command. Furthermore, this static definition is effectively for documentation only: if you specify FILTERDATASET, the DEPLOY command dynamically defines CCVX, replacing any existing definition.
  2. Edit and submit the JCL in the following member of the sample library SCCVSAMP:
    CCVXDUP
    Defines resource definitions for the CICS Configuration Manager server from the CCVXCSDD member (that you have just edited) in the appropriate CSD file. Also adds the group CCV510 containing these resource definitions to the startup list that you nominate.

    Expect return code 4, because this job defines resource definitions whose names begin with the letter C (typically used by CICS).
