Testing the Connection to the Host CICS System

To test your connection to the host CICS system you need to ensure that:

  1. The local communications server has an active link to the host.
  2. The host CICS region is running. In most installations this is the case, but sometimes you may need to ask your host system administrator to start the host CICS region that you are going to connect with. It can usually be tested by using an SNA Server 3270 applet and entering the VTAM ID of your host CICS region when the terminal has a connection to the host VTAM.
