This panel allows you to create a new system definition. You must
specify the system name and type.
You can bypass this panel by entering the command NEW
name CICS|IMAGE|DB2|MQ|LOGGER in full.
The options are:
- System Name
- Specify the name of the new system. Names can contain only alphanumeric
(A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$)
characters. For a CICS® APPLID, DB2® or MQ SSID,
or Logger name you can also specify a pattern using the % and * masking
characters.
A CICS APPLID,
Image, or Logger name has a maximum length of 8 characters, whereas
for a DB2 or MQ SSID
it is 4 characters.
- Type
- Select the type of system:
- CICS System. Either
a CICS Transaction Server system
identified by its generic APPLID, or a CICS Transaction
Gateway system identified by its APPLID. CICS PA matches
this name against the CICS Transaction
Server generic APPLID specified in SMF 110 and SMF 112 records, and
the CICS Transaction Gateway
APPLID specified in SMF 111 records.
- MVS™ Image. MVS System, identified by its MVS SMF ID (SID parameter in SMFPRMnn)
or any name that uniquely identifies your system. The name need not
match any formal MVS definition.
- DB2 Subsystem. DB2 Subsystem, identified by its
SSID. CICS PA matches
this name against the SSID specified in the DB2 accounting records.
- MQ Subsystem. WebSphere® MQ Subsystem, identified by its
SSID. CICS PA matches
this name against the SSID specified in the MQ accounting records.
- System Logger. MVS System
Logger, identified by the CICS or MVS system it services or any name
that identifies the Logger system. The name need not match any formal MVS definition.
