If you intend to use Adabas Transaction Manager through the CICS Resource Manager Interface (RMI), use the following installation procedure in conjunction with the installation procedure for the Adabas task-related user exit (TRUE) described in the Adabas Installation for z/VSE documentation.
Note:
A supported level of IBM’s CICS is needed, with RMI configured in it.
The steps needed for a successful installation are as follows:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Perform standard installation procedure for Adabas Transaction Manager, and verify the installation. |
| 2 | Follow the steps for the installation of the Adabas TRUE. |
| 3 | Establish CICS definitions for Adabas Transaction Manager RMI programs. |
| 4 | Copy the Adabas Transaction Manager RMI modules into a CICS RPL library. |
| 5 | Define client runtime controls for the CICS system. |
| 6 | Activate the Adabas Transaction Manager CICS Resource Manager Interface (RMI). |
The following is the general RMI installation procedure. All steps are required for a successful installation.
Install and verify the execution of the transaction manager and client proxy without activating the RMI.
This process is fully described in the Adabas Installation for z/VSE documentation.
Note:
When linking the Adabas command-level link component, you must link
in the Adabas System Coordinator stub module.
To establish CICS definitions for the RMI programs:
Use DFHCSDUP or the CEDA RDO entry panels to add the definitions delivered in member DFHDUP in the supplied JOBS library.
Note:
If storage protection is active in your CICS system,
EXECKEY(CICS) should be specified for the PROGRAM definitions.
The following programs, supplied in the ATM load library, must be made available in the LIBDEF concatenation of your CICS JCL procedure:
ATMRMIRS
ATMORID
Use Adabas Transaction Manager Online Services to define the required client runtime controls for the CICS job.
The required controls are described in section
Parameters. Some special
considerations are necessary when running with the RMI active. Define a set of
client runtime controls for the CICS job. Pay particular attention to the
Open
distributed transaction support,
Adabas
transaction dynamics and
Transaction
control by other vendors, as well as the
Transaction control
by 'cc' client controls.
To activate the CICS Resource Manager Interface:
Ensure that the Adabas System Coordinator daemon, within which the Adabas Transaction Manager is running, is active
