Configuring Enterprise Server to Run the Application

When the CICS, IMS or JCL application has been compiled, you run it under Enterprise Server. If you have CICS, IMS or JCL applications already running under an enterprise server, you might be able to use that enterprise server. Alternatively, if you want to run the application on your own machine under your own enterprise server, you need to configure an enterprise server for running CICS, IMS or JCL applications.

The Enterprise Server Administration console and Enterprise Server Monitoring and Control (ESMAC), provide facilities to do this. Among other tasks, you need to:

• Update the resource definitions for the application, as necessary. The resources include system initialization tables (SITs), startup lists, transactions, programs and so on (CICS and JCL only).
• Set up search paths to locate the programs, data files and other resources that your application uses.
• Adjust the data conversion templates as necessary (CICS only).
• Add an enterprise server listener to listen for CICS requests (CICS only).
