Verifying license information

To verify that the CICS® TG license information is correctly applied, include the appropriate license-related annotations in the .spec.template.metadata.annotations section of your Kubernetes deployment file.

First, run the following command to retrieve the names of the CICS TG pods that are deployed on OpenShift® Container Platform (OCP):

oc get pods 

The output of the command:

NAME                                                  READY    STATUS     RESTARTS    AGE
cicstg-gateway-10.1.0-7968cc7848-j84jm 1/1            1/1      Running    0           3h44m

Then, specify the license-related annotations in the .spec.template.metadata.annotations section of the file. These annotations define the licensing parameters and entitlements that are required for the CICS TG deployment to function correctly within the OpenShift environment. After you specify the annotations, run the following command for your CICS TG deployment to comply with the licensing terms and conditions.

oc describe pods cicstg-gateway-10.1.0-7968cc7848-j84jm | grep product
