Scenario: Creating a CICS topology that is managed by CICSPlex System Manager

By creating a CICS topology and managing it using CICSPlex System Manager (CICSPlex® SM), you can effectively scale your CICS environment and manage the workloads of your applications. Starting with an application in a single CICS region, this scenario leads you through the key tasks required to move the application into a CICS topology and add support for CICSPlex SM.

This scenario was developed using the general insurance application. The general insurance application is available as a download, and demonstrates the latest features of CICS Transaction Server. If you want to try out the scenario, you can either follow the instructions to create a CICS topology and add CICSPlex SM or set up an instance of the general insurance application as described in the scenario.
