With these enhancements to the
WUI, together with job-step access
to batch repositories enhancements,
you can configure CICSPlex System
Manager without having to activate
the CICS Application Server (CAS) or
TSO components. • Configuration enables new users to
maximize CICSPlex System Manager
functionality immediately.
For existing users, it simplifies
migration to the new level of CICS
Transaction Server.
• Dynamic selection lists enhance
usability by enabling the WUI to
generate lists of valid potential
values for users to select attributes
in input panels. Users no longer have
to remember values that they might
have to enter.
• The previous set of samples known
as the starter set is now included as
a fully documented set of IBM-
supplied views.
CICSPlex System Manager BATCHREP
access enhancements
CICS Transaction Server, Version 3.1
introduces a group of new facilities
that provides access to a batch-
repository update mechanism to
support batch maintenance of
definitions on the CICSPlex System
Manager data repository. These
facilities include:
• A BATCHREP resource table,
which is now accessible by the
CICSPlex System Manager API
through the WUI.
• A z/OS utility program, which enables
definitions to be maintained from a
job step.
• Simplified ability to navigate resource
group relationships to more closely
match those encountered in the base
CICS RDO function.
CICS Transaction Server, Version 3.1 provides extensions to the CICSPlex System Manager WUI.
