Step 2: Creating the Applications

In this step, you create all required application subsystems.

Before you begin

You may want to read the information in Creating a New Application to see some sample panels of the customization dialog before you continue with the scenario.

Procedure

  1. On the Entry Type Selection panel enter option 6 or APL to get to the Entry Name Selection panel for applications, which is displayed with an empty list.
  2. Enter NEW VTAM at the command line.
    The Define New Entry panel for applications is displayed and the Entry name field is already filled with VTAM.
  3. Press Enter to have the Subsystem Name and Job Name fields filled with their default value. These fields are mandatory.
    Both of them default to the application's Entry name (see Subsystem Name and Job Name in Creating a New Application for more information on this defaulting mechanism). So, in this case, they default to VTAM®.

    The Subsystem Name is used as the first part of the application's resource name. It is recommended to use the same name for the application entry name and subsystem name for better identification of applications and resources that will be derived from applications.

  4. Press PF3 to leave this panel. The Policy Selection panel is displayed, showing a message that the application has been created.
  5. On the Policy Selection panel for applications press PF3 again to return to the Entry Name Selection panel. It now shows VTAM in the list.
  6. Repeat the previous steps for the rest of the applications using the values from Table 1.
    Table 1. Entry Details for Applications in the Scenario
    Entry Name Application Category Subcategory
    WBSRV (Web Server) blank
    DWH (Data Warehouse) blank
    CICSMAIN CICS TOR
    CICS1TOR CICS TOR
    CICS1FOR CICS FOR
    CICS1AR1 CICS AOR
    CPSMCMAS CICS CPSM

    DB21MSTR DB2 MSTR
    DB21IRLM DB2 IRLM
    DB21DIST DB2 DIST
    DB21DBM1 DB2 DBM1
    TCPIP blank

    Now all subsystems (applications) are defined to your environment.
