Installing

Use this information to plan and install CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS® and CICS Explorer®. These tasks are done in conjunction with the Program Directory.

Planning for installation
This section discusses the steps required to plan your CICS TS installation.
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.
Installing CICS TS
You must install two components for any of the three editions of CICS Transaction Server for z/OS: the base component and the activation module that is specific to each edition.
Setting up the MVS environment for CICS
You must perform a number of tasks after you have loaded the elements to DASD and before you run CICS.
Getting ready to run CICS
Before you can run CICS, you must customize the CICS TS supplied skeleton jobs and enable services that are required by CICS.
Verifying the CICS installation
After you have installed CICS and applied any necessary service, you can use the DFHIVPBT and DFHIVPOL CICS-supplied installation verification procedures (IVPs) to confirm that CICS is operational.
