Administering resources with CICSPlex SM

You can manage all of your CICS® and CICSPlex® SM resources through any of the following interfaces; the CICS Explorer, the CICS Management Client Interface (CMCI), a WUI view, or using the CICSPlex SM API.

Manage your resource definitions in the following ways:
  • Using the CMCI, which accepts HTTP requests from your application.
  • Using the CICS Explorer, which takes advantage of CMCI.
  • Using the CICSPlex SM Web User Interface (WUI).
  • Adding CICSPlex SM API commands directly to your application.

Managing and installing resources

Use Business Application Services (BAS) to manage and install CICS resources that are stored on the CICSPlex SM data repository.

Use CSD to manage and install CICS resources that are stored on the CICS System Definition (CSD) repository.

You must define a CSDGROUP for a CSD resource and a DEFVER for a BAS resource.
