CICS Explorer installation

You have the option to install CICS Explorer®. If you do, you can install CICS Explorer in a number of places, depending on the requirements of your organization. After installation, you must configure the FTP server for CICS Explorer, and configure the CICS Explorer connections to your CICS® or CICSPlex® SM systems. You can also define where CICS Explorer saves its workspace.

If you have not already decided where to install CICS Explorer, see CICS Explorer planning.

CICS also provides a CICS Explorer SDK that application developers can install into an existing Eclipse IDE. The SDK provides support for developing and deploying Java™ applications in CICS.
