  3. Executing CICS Interface IVPs
  4. Optional CICS Interface Items
  • Prerequisites
    CICS Transaction Server for z/OS is necessary for interfacing with Substation ES.
  • Customizing CICS Interface
    To install the CICS components for Substation ES, you have to customize the CICS interface by editing the data sets and selected members listed in the following steps. Also, you must select the correct version of the CICS load library that was included with your Substation ES installation.
  • Executing CICS Interface IVPs
    After installing and activating CICS Interface, you should execute the CICS interface IVPs to verify your installation. By performing the sample IVP installation steps and tests, you can verify the bidirectional communication from and to your IBM CICS system with Substation ES.
