How to Install the CICS Agent

To enable a CICS region to communicate with CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for CICS regions, you install an agent in CICS. The agent and the CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for CICS regions can then establish PPI connections.

The steps are outlined here and then described in detail in following sections.

To install the CICS agent

  1. Add the CICS agent load library to the CICS DFHRPL library concatenation.
  2. Customize and run the supplied RCICSDUP job.
  3. Customize the program list tables (PLTs).
  4. Ensure that the CSMT transient data queue is defined in the CICS destination control table (DCT).
  5. Shut down and restart the CICS region to complete the installation.
