Configuring Runtime: IMS and CICS

When IMS or CICS is the target environment for CA Gen generated applications, you must configure the target environment appropriately before deploying the application. This section covers Block Mode Support for IMS and CICS, Client/Server Support for IMS and CICS, and Debugging features for IMS and CICS.

Before you configure IMS or CICS for CA Gen applications, confirm the following tasks are complete:

• The CICS or IMS execution environment has been established according to the CA Gen Technical Requirements. The CA Gen Technical Requirements document is in the Product Information section of the CA Gen Product home page, accessible from the CA Support Online website.
• If the application generated by CA Gen is the first software to use the DB2 Attachment Facility from within CICS or IMS, ensure the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) COBOL application was installed and executed. The DB2 installation tape includes IVP COBOL. For more information, see your IBM documentation.
