Running the Application

Once the application is working correctly, administrators look after the running and monitoring of the application in Enterprise Server. They need to:

• Maintain resource definitions for CICS; they can do this in the development environment. The format is portable between environments. There are also import and export tools which enable the downloading of the definitions into a text file for more convenient editing.
• Control and monitor the running of the application, within the context of Enterprise Server.

The administration tool ESMAC, Enterprise Server Monitoring and Control, provides facilities for maintaining resource definitions and monitoring and controlling CICS, IMS and JCL applications. Many of its facilities are also available for non-MSS applications running in Enterprise Server. For detailed information about running CICS, IMS and JCL applications in Enterprise Server, see the chapters Administering CICS-enabled Enterprise Servers , Administering IMS-enabled Enterprise Servers and Administering JCL-enabled Enterprise Servers.

You also need to use facilities in the main Enterprise Server interface. For more information see the main Enterprise Server Configuration and Administration Guide .
