How You Define Consoles to a CICS Region

You specify the number of consoles for a region to use in the Max Consoles to Acquire field of the CONSOLES parameter group. If you want to manage a CICS region, you define the required number of consoles to that region in the CICS Terminal Control Table (TCT):

• For JES consoles, the required minimum is the number specified in the Max Consoles to Acquire field.
• For extended MCS consoles, the required minimum is the number specified in the Max Consoles to Acquire field plus two.
