Installing and setting up the base application

Before you can run the base application, you must define and populate two VSAM data sets, and create two TRANSACTION resources.

Creating and defining the VSAM data sets
Two KSDS VSAM data sets are used to define and populate the example application. One data set contains configuration information for the example application. The other contains the sales catalog.
Defining the 3270 interface
The example application is supplied with a 3270 user interface to run the application and to customize it. The user interface consists of two transactions, EGUI and ECFG. A third transaction, ECLI, is used for the CICS web service client.
Completing the installation
To complete the installation, install the RDO group that contains your resource definitions.
Configuring the example application
The base application includes a transaction (ECFG) that you can use to configure the example application.
