Configuring the IPIC server on CICS TG

You must define a server definition for the Gateway daemon to communicate to CICS® over IPIC in remote mode.

To define a server definition for the Gateway daemon:

1. Edit the ctg.ini file and define an IPICSERVER definition for your CICS server:
   1. Set HOSTNAME to the name of the IBM® z/OS® machine that hosts your CICS server.
   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

2. Save your updated ctg.ini file.
3. Edit the CTGS01A1 data set and define the configuration and Java paths:
   • Replace <config_path> with the directory that ctg.ini is stored in.
   • Replace <javag_path> with your Java 7 install path. For example:

     CICSCLI=/u/ctguser/ctg.ini 
     PATH=/bin:/java/java70/bin
     

4. Save your updated data set.
5. Start CICS TG to apply the new IPICSERVER definition.
