2 Specify a URI PATH. The default path name is /CICSIA/IBM/atom/ciuatom/*.
3 Specify the TCP/IP port number.
4 Specify the Atom Configuration file location. The default value is @pathprefix@/usr/lpp/cicsia/@ciuver@. This will be concatenated with IBM/atomservices/config/CIUATM01 to provide the HFS location of the configuration file used by the CICS IA Atomservice. The @pathprefix@ and @ciuver@ are variables chosen during the SMPE install jobs CIUIHFS0, CIUIHFS1, and CIUMKDIR.
Once you have run the configuration for the controlling region, you need to define the configured resources to CICS. For details, see Defining resources to CICS.
Your controlling region should now be ready to enable CICS IA tasks administration form the Explorer plug-in. For more information on configuring the CICS IA Explorer plug-in, refer to the its built-in HELP.
