Installation Notes

1. You could include TCPIP=YES in your SIT parameters in your CICS JCL, so you don't need to manually start TCPIP every time you start CICS.
2. Ensure you have a TCPIPSERVICE defined and installed when CICS starts up. This can be done by CDO, with the following commands and parameters (remember: this is only a sample. Yours may have your own URM (analyzer), different port number, etc.):
        CEDA DEF TCPIPSERVICE(MYSERV) GR(SUPCA8C)
                 URM(DFHWBAOX) PORTNUMBER(1234) SSL(NO)
                 TRANSACTION(CWXN)
                 BACKLOG(00005)
                 SOCKETCLOSE(NO)
        CEDA INS TCPIPSERVICE(MYSERV) GR(SUPCA8C)
3. Two global changes are needed in GRAPHIX.HTM, FINDADDR.HTM, DTFIND.HTM, HOMEPAGE.HTM and INDEX.HTM to ensure all the links in these files work:
Change your.CICS.system to the IP address of the machine your CICS system is running on.
Change your.port to the portnumber specified in the above TCPIPSERVICE definition.
