Prerequisites for all EntireX components are described centrally. See z/VSE Prerequisites .


Installation under z/VSE

Execute job CICSDEF.J in sublibrary EXP960. This will create all relevant CSD entries for the CICS Socket Listener. This job:

  • installs the load modules EXXRFEC, EXXRFECX, EXXRFECA and EXXRFECS

  • creates the following CICS CSD definitions:

    • program definitions for the load modules EXXRFEC, EXXRFECX, EXXRFECA and EXXRFECS, where definition for EXXRFECS needs EXECKEY(CICS)

    • transaction XRFE, which is the standard transaction name that can be maintained with the RPC Server or Adapter configuration. If you need to change this CSD entry default, you also need to adapt the configuration parameter CICS transaction ID. More information:

Note:
The CICS Socket Listener is also installed along with the RPC Server for CICS. See Installing the RPC Server for CICS.
