The configuration file you are editing should already have at least one EXCI client configuration. (The EXCI user exit cannot do anything useful unless there is at least one APPLID it can return.) See Configuring EXCI for the client.
Use this procedure to enable an EXCI user exit module. An EXCI user exit is a routine supplied by the customer which can change the APPLID (EXCI destination) specified by the application. This lets you redirect EXCI clients to a different region without changing the application source. (You can also change what region an EXCI client connects to by changing the target URL of the APPLID in the client configuration.)

Restart the application, JES region, or IIS pool to enable the new configuration.
