Overview
The data interface enables a client application to connect to a Web User Interface server to obtain data about CICSPlex SM-managed CICS® regions.
In effect, the data interface uses the Web User Interface server as gateway into CICSPlex SM. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
The data interface provides the commands shown in Table 1:
To use this data interface, a client application issues commands in
the form of HTTP requests to the Web User Interface server. The result from
each request is returned in the HTTP response.
