Actions on CSD-based CICS regions require the CICS Configuration Manager agent

Before you can perform actions on CICSĀ® regions whose resource definitions are stored in CSD files, you need to:

  1. Install the CICS Configuration Manager agent in those regions.
  2. Define a CICS inter-system communications (ISC) link or a CICS multiregion operations (MRO) link between each of those regions (the "remote regions") and the region that is running the CICS Configuration Manager server (the "local region)".
  3. Edit the CICS configurations for the remote region CSD files, and add the names of these links as remote system connections.

For details on these steps, see Optional: Configure the agent for CSD-based CICS regions.

When you instruct CICS Configuration Manager to perform an action on a CSD-based resource definition, the server uses the remote system connections to call its agent in the target CICS regions. You can instruct the server to use all or only some of the remote system connections.
