Downloading the workstation administration client software

Once the CICS® BAC host component has been installed, use FTP or a similar retrieval method to copy the workstation administration client from the host to your workstation. The following example shows a sample dialog using the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional FTP client to download the workstation administration client setup.exe file to your workstation.

Start of changeIn this example, all non-bold, non-italicized characters are workstation prompts and responses from the FTP client or host FTP server. Words shown as bold, non-italicized are FTP commands and should be entered as shown. Characters, words, and phrases that you must enter according to your installation requirements are shown as bold and italicized (for example, userid). All non-bold, italicized characters are workstation FTP client or host FTP server responses (or segments of responses) that will vary depending on your environment and the data you enter. If you are downloading a client for a language other than English, you must change cbkwcenu in the FTP GET command to the appropriate member name, for example, cbkwcjpn.End of change

You can continue with the following steps in this manual before implementing and customizing CICS BAC on the host. However, before you can perform any actions that require host interaction (such as uploading an object definition to the host), you must finish the implementation and customization process for the host component. For information on this process, see the CICS BAC Program Directory and the CICS BAC User's Guide.
