Setting up CICS-based clients

Add the load library containing the load modules to the RPL concatenation of your CICS® startup job.

Procedure

  1. Install and set up the NACT transaction.
  2. Translate, compile, and link the COBOL or C language programs DFH0CBRC, DFH0CBRL, DFH$BRCC, and DFH$BRLC, using a Language Environment® conforming compiler, ensuring the library containing the DFH$BRSH and DFH0CBRA copybooks is accessible. See Device dependent support for guidance on translating and compiling CICS programs.
  3. Install resource definitions for the following CICS resources:
    Table 1. Resource definitions for sample clients
    Resource Description
    DFH0CBRC COBOL sample business client
    DFH0CBRL COBOL sample bridge client
    DFH$BRCC C sample business client
    DFH$BRLC C sample bridge client
    BRCO Transaction to drive DFHC0BRC
    BRCH Transaction to drive DFH$BRCC

    Examples of these resource definitions are provided for you in group DFH$BRLK. Install this group, or add it to the grouplist installed during CICS startup.

What to do next

Run the sample programs from a CICS-based client.
