Deploying the ECI resource adapter on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS®

You must completely remove any resource adapter supplied with a previous version of the product before installing this version.

Local mode

Start of change If you are using local mode, the server_region_libpath environment variable must point to the bin directory of the CICS® Transaction Gateway installation. End of change

Start of change To set this environment variable on WebSphere® Application Server:
  1. Navigate to Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_ name.
  2. Under Server Infrastructure, click Java and process management > Process definition > Servant > Environment entries.
  3. If a LIBPATH entry exists, then edit the existing value, otherwise click New to add a new entry with name LIBPATH and set its value to the full path of the CICS Transaction Gateway <install path>/bin directory, for example: /usr/lpp/cicstg/ctg910/bin.
End of change
Note: Start of change The WebSphere Application server must be restarted for this change to take effect. End of change
You must also set the environment variables that are relevant to JCA in WebSphere Application Server. For a local mode topology, the CICS Transaction Gateway environment variables are specified using the WebSphere Administration Console:
  • CTG_EXCI_INIT determines whether or not EXCI is loaded (default is YES if undefined). If EXCI is required, you must also set the STEPLIB environment variable. You can also set CTG_PIPE_REUSE and DFHJVPIPE:
    • STEPLIB identifies the library containing the default EXCI options and the EXCI load modules (mandatory).
    • CTG_PIPE_REUSE determines how allocated EXCI pipes are reused (optional but recommended).
    • DFHJVPIPE defines the name of the pipe that CICS Transaction Gateway uses for EXCI calls (optional but recommended).

For more information about what values to set for these environment variables see Environment variables: local and remote mode.

For more information about local mode see Configuring a local mode topology.
