To test the agent, we perform two actions on the CICSĀ® Configuration Manager agent program CCVSREMP:
Do these steps for each remote region:
CCVSREMP PROGRAM *
and then press Enter.
The resource definition for the agent program appears in the list.
A pop-up window appears for the newcopy options.
For this first action, do not select the PHASEIN option.
The pop-up window closes.
The Prompt column should display "*Errors" next to the resource definition. This is expected.
However, if the top right corner of the panel displays the message "Command failed", it means that the agent has not been configured correctly. Use the following checklist to identify and correct the problem:
Agent configuration checklist
To check the status of a connection, sign on to the local or remote region and enter:
CEMT I CONN
An "exception messages" pop-up window appears, showing messages from the agent. The expected return code from the agent is 8; the expected last four digits of the reason code are 0047 ("object is in use"). For descriptions of all CICS Configuration Manager reason codes, see Reason codes.
This time, the Prompt column should display "*Newcopied" next to the resource definition.
This completes the configuration procedure for the agent in this remote region. Repeat stages 2 and 3 for other remote regions.
