Step 1. CICS Modifications

1. Include a DD statement for the CA IPC Custom Load Library (CUSLIB) and the CA IPC Target Load Library (CAVQLOAD) in the DFHRPL concatenation of the CICS Startup JCL.

   Important! A previous version of VPE was delivered with CA Common Services. To ensure that the correct code is accessed, you must concatenate the CA IPC CAVQLOAD before the CA Common Services target load library in the DFHRPL of the CICS startup JCL.

2. CICS requires the addition of DD statements for the CA IPC files. The CA IPC installation creates these statements for you. Fetch the IPCFILE member from the Custom Macro Library (CUSMAC) and insert it into the CICS startup JCL.
3. The CA IPC installation also produces all source members for CICS table modification. These source members are in the CAVQSAMP library and contain all the CICS table entries required.
4. For those sites using an existing CICS that already uses an earlier release of CA IPC, you must replace the CICS groups for the earlier version. Using the chart provided in the following CICS Source Copybooks, replace all references to the r11 copybooks. Then reassemble and relink your CICS table DFHFCTxx and add the new CICS groups to your DFHCSD.
5. Although it is included for illustration only, you can use the VQCICS JCL member in the INSTJCL library to define programs, transactions, and files for CICS Transaction Services.
