Option 1 - RDO: If you request to install the CONNX CICS components, the installation job executes the IBM DFHCSDUP utility to define the CONNX programs, transactions, and VSAM configuration and sample files to the target CICS partition RDO VSAM file. You can verify the installation of the CONNX CICS components by logging on to the target CICS partition and issuing the following command:

 

CEDA EXPAND GR(CNX)

 

For CICS 2.4 and above installations, the following components are defined:




For CICS/VSE 2.3 installations, the following components are defined:


 

As needed, you can ask your CICS Administrator to add the CNXLIST list to the target CICS partition startup list. CNXLIST contains the CNXVVRR group.

Option 2 - Non-RDO:

If  the target CICS partition does not use RDO, you can define the CONNX CICS files and programs to the target FCT and PPT.  The CONNX FCT entries are copied to members CNXFCT0 and CNXPPT0 of the CNXV8R8.SOURCE installation library.sublib. These entries must be manually copied to the master source for the CICS FCT and PPT and reassembled.

For CICS/VSE 2.3 installations, the FCT (File Control Table) for the target CICS partition must be updated with the CONNX FCT entries in member V2R3FCT0.ASM of the CNXVVRR.SOURCE installation library.sublib. These entries must be manually copied to the master source for the CICS FCT and reassembled.
