Deploying a CICS resource adapter

The resource adapters are provided as standard modules, ready for deployment into a Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (JEE) application server. The resource adapters can be packaged in a JEE application along with other components such as Enterprise JavaBeans, and can be used to create larger, more complex systems.

CICS® Transaction Gateway includes the following resource adapters which are located in the <install_path>/deployable directory:
  • ECI resource adapter (cicseci.rar)
  • EPI resource adapter (cicsepi.rar)
  • CICS JEE Inbound resource adapter(cicsinbound.rar)

The resource adapters can be deployed in 31-bit and 64-bit run time environments. For more information on supported environments, see JEE application servers.

If installing both the cicseci.rar and cicsepi.rar into the same IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, then the resource adapters should be isolated from each other by enabling the configuration option when each resource adapter has been installed.

For information on how to deploy a CICS resource adapter in a managed environment, see your JEE application server documentation.

For more information about nonmanaged environments, see Using the resource adapters in a nonmanaged environment.

If your JEE application server requires Java 2 Security permissions, or if Java 2 Security permissions are enabled on your JEE application server, consider setting the security permissions that allow CICS Transaction Gateway to access your keystores. For more information, see Using a Java 2 Security Manager.

CICS Transaction Gateway Desktop Edition: Support is not provided for the JCA resource adapter.

CICS JEE Inbound Resource Adapter supports incoming requests from TXSeries only. CICS TS is not supported with this resource adapter

For more information on supported platforms for this feature, See CICS JEE Inbound Resource Adapter.
