Configuring CICSPlex SM

To configure CICSPlex® SM, you must create a CMAS and data repository, create a WUI server, and configure your CICS® regions. You can organize your regions into groups that logically belong together. You can also create more than one CMAS to provide a highly available environment and create connections between the CMASs.

About this task

To create a single-system image of the CICS regions comprising a CICSplex, you have to create topology definitions. These definitions associate CICS regions with a CICSplex, and optionally identify subsets of those regions as CICS system groups. The names of the CICS regions and system groups must be unique in each CICSplex.

See also Example: Creating a Basic CPSM CICSPlex environment. This example shows how to set up a basic CICSPlex that spans multiple LPARs. This involves setting up a CMAS on each LPAR and connecting them so that they can talk to each other. This example helps you get started with configuring your own CICSPlex SM environment.
