Defining connections to CICS

Connections between an EXCI client program and a CICS® region require connection definitions in the CICS region. You define these using the CONNECTION and the SESSIONS resource definition facilities provided by CICS.

The following options are provided specifically for the external CICS interface:
  • CONNTYPE on the CONNECTION resource definition
  • EXCI on the PROTOCOL attribute of the CONNECTION and SESSIONS resource definitions.
