Configure and Start the CICSEXT Server

Now that you have created an enterprise server for our CICS application, you need to configure the Mainframe Subsystem Support that drives CICS applications. The ACCT application is already compiled, so configuration is minimal. After configuration, we will start the CICSEXT enterprise server in preparation for running the ACCT application.

1. On the Enterprise Server Administration Home page, click the Edit button that corresponds to the CICSEXT enterprise server.
2. Click the MSS tab.
3. In the System Initialization Table field, type IMTKCICS.
4. Click Apply.
5. On the list at the left of the page, click Home to return to the Enterprise Server Administration Home page.
6. In the Communications Processes column for the CICSEXT enterprise server, click the Details button that corresponds to 3 Listeners.

   The listeners represent the three types of services you can run using this enterprise server.

7. Click the Edit button that corresponds to Web Services and J2EE.
8. Change the contents of the Endpoint Address field to *:9003.
9. Click OK.
10. Click the Edit button that corresponds to Web listener.
11. Change the value of the New Status field to Stopped. This enables the listener used to deploy the service interface to the CICSEXT server.
12. Click OK.
13. On the list at the left of the page, click Home to return to the Enterprise Server Administration Home page.
14. In the row that corresponds to the CICSEXT enterprise server, click the Start button that appears in the column labeled Status.
15. On the next page, click the OK button under Are you sure you want to continue?

    At this point, a daemon displays showing the diagnostic information regarding the start of your CICS region, and then you are returned to the Home page.

    After the Enterprise Server Administration Home page refreshes itself a time or two, you should see the word Started above the Details and Stop buttons for the CICSEXT enterprise server.

    Note: If any other enterprise servers are started, stop them before proceeding.
