This topic describes how you setup, start, and run a CICS BAC communication server. It provides the sample JCL that you can use and information about the data sets and parameters used by the communication server. Figure 1 contains an example of the JCL you use to submit the communication server as an MVS™ started task.
Note that you need a communication server only if you plan to use the CICS BAC workstation administration client. If you perform all administration tasks by using either the ISPF administration interface or the file maintenance utility, you do not need a CICS BAC communication server.
