Defining new applications

You can define an application with XML verbs.

About this task

All applications are stored in the CIUAPPLS member in your customized SCIUDAT1 data set. They are defined in a simple XML format. After the installation and customization CIUAPPLS contains the CICS® IA IVP application. Figure 1 shows the IVP application.

<form>                                                  1

<code>IVP       </code>                                 3     
<name>IVP Application        </name>                    4     
<tran>TSTS</tran>                                       5     
<tran>TWEB</tran>                                                           
<prog>EMSTESTS</prog>                                   6     
<prog>EMSWEBTS</prog>                                                       
</appl>                                                                     
</form>                                                                     

Notes:

The XML that is used to describe an application contains the following verbs:

 1  <form> and </form> are the start and end verbs for all of the applications.

 2  <appl> and </appl> are the start and end verbs for each application.

 3  <code> and </code> define the 8-character application code.

 4  <name> and </name> define the 50-character application name.

 5  <tran> and </tran> define a transaction to the application.

 6  <prog> and </prog> define a program to the application.

Running CIUALOAD to define the IVP and your applications

After you have defined all your applications in SCIUDAT1(CIUAPPLS), you can load them into your DB2® tables. To perform this task, review and run sample job CIUALOAD.
