Configuring the IPIC server on CICS TG

You must edit the ctg.ini file to identify your CICS® TG to CICS and to define a server definition for the Gateway daemon to communicate with CICS over IPIC in remote mode.

1. To identify your CICS TG to CICS when connecting over IPIC, you must define your APPLID and APPLIDQUALIFIER, in uppercase, in the PRODUCT section of the ctg.ini file.
   For example:

   SECTION PRODUCT
       APPLID=MYAPPL
       APPLIDQUALIFIER=MYQUAL
   ENDSECTION

2. To define an IPICSERVER definition for your CICS server:
   1. Set HOSTNAME to the TCP/IP host name or TCP/IP address on which CICS is listening.
   2. Set PORT to the port number that your CICS server uses to listen for incoming IPIC requests.
   For example:

   SECTION IPICSERVER = CICSA
       HOSTNAME=cicssrv2.company.com
       PORT=50889
   ENDSECTION

3. Save your updated ctg.ini file.
4. Start CICS TG to apply the new definitions.
