The base application includes a transaction (ECFG) that
you can use to configure the example application.
Before you begin
The configuration transaction uses mixed-case information.
You must use a terminal that can handle mixed-case information correctly.
About this task
You can specify a number of aspects of the example application.
These include:
- The overall configuration of the application, such as the use
of web services
- The network addresses used by the web services components of the
application
- The names of resources, such as the file used for the data store
- The names of programs used for each component of the application
With the configuration transaction, you can replace CICS-supplied
components of the example application with your own without restarting
the application.
Procedure
- Enter the transaction ECFG to start the configuration application.
CICS® displays the
following screen:
