Deploying the policies to an active platform
Use the CICS® Explorer® to deploy the policies to an active platform. Export the CICS Bundle project to the platform home directory in zFS, then use the ADDBUNDLE operation dialog to install it into a region type.
Before you begin
The
platform home directory is /var/cicsts/DEMOPLEX/my.demo.platform,
where DEMOPLEX is the name of your target CICSplex and my.demo.platform
is the name of your CICS Platform
project. The CICS bundle that
contains the policies is named Policy_Bundle. The region type to which
the policy is to be applied is demo.platform.AOR.regiontype. It is
assumed that, from the CICS Explorer®, you already have the following active connections:
- A CICS Management Interface connection into DEMOPLEX.
- A z/OS® FTP connection to the appropriate z/OS system, with sufficient access authority.
About this task
You can add and remove policies for your platform while the platform is available. When you deploy a policy to an active platform, the policy rules apply only to those user tasks that have application entry points, and which are running as parts of applications that are deployed to the platform. A CICS bundle can be installed in CICS regions by only one application or platform. You cannot install a CICS bundle into a platform if it is already installed in the target region type in the platform.
