Applications view

The Applications view shows a list of all applications that were defined in CICS® TS versions earlier than CICS TS Version 5.1 and that were collected by using CICS IA Version 3.2 or earlier.

You can use this view for the following functions:

Show the resources associated with the currently selected application.
Show the resources, programs, or transactions that define the application.
Show the programs and transactions associated with a specific application.
Display a visual representation of applications.

These are the same functions as the Applications view in CICS IA Version 3.2.

To see applications that are defined in CICS TS Version 5.1 or later and known to CICS IA, use the Cloud Explorer view.

You can use the filter tool in the toolbar of the view to filter the list by application name. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. To apply the filter set in this field, press Enter. In the example screen capture, the filter *I* is used and all applications with the letter I in their name are displayed.

To show the resources associated with an application, right-click the application name. Either click Show All Resources or click Show, then the required resource type. You can choose CICS, DB2®, WebSphere® MQ, or IMS™resource types. The results are displayed in the Show Resources view.

Show menu option in the Applications view.

To display the resources, programs, or transactions that define the application, right-click the application name and click one of the following options, as required:

Defining Resources

The Programs view and Transactions view show all the programs and transactions associated with the applications in the Applications view. To show the programs and transactions associated with a specific application in the Programs view and Transactions view, right-click the application name and click Programs Used or Transactions Used, as required.

To display a visual representation of applications, right-click an application name, click Visualization, then click All Applications, or Selected Application, as required. The results are displayed in the Resource Visualization view.

Information about the currently selected application is displayed in the Properties view.

If the required stored procedure (CIUSPAPP) is not available in the database, the extended context options on an application type resource are not available. Contact the database administrator or CICS IA administrator to make sure that the CIUSPAPP stored procedure is installed correctly.
