When you install the CICS® Transaction
Server (TS) agent, you download the files from Rational® Test Control Panel system
to the z/OS® system and then
configure the files for the exit.
Before you begin
The CICS Transaction
Server (TS) agent is supported on CICS TS
versions 3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, and 5.2.
Two sets of XMIT files
are provided. The XMIT files that support CICS 3.2 are prefixed RIT.CICS32.
The XMIT files that support CICS 4.1
and above are prefixed RIT.CICS. In the procedure,
they are referred to generically as CICSxx. Choose
the XMIT files that match your operation environment. To support all
versions of CICS, repeat the
instructions for both sets of XMIT files.
Procedure
- Download and extract the CICS Transaction
Server Exits package, IBMCICSTransactionServer.zip,
that is provided with Rational Test Control Panel into
a temporary folder. For information about the package,
see Rational Integration Tester tool packages.
- Use FTP to transfer the CICS XMIT files
in the temporary folder to MVS™ on
the z/OS system.
- Using the command line on the system where you extracted
the files, go to the temporary folder.

put
RIT.CICSxx.LOADLIB.XMIT 'userid.RIT.CICSxx.LOADLIB.XMIT'
where userid is
your TSO user ID.
- Unpack the data set.

TSO command window. Then, enter the following command:
