CICS Operations

CICS endpoints use CMCI (CICS Management Client Interface) to work with CICS runtime and resource metadata.

Browse CICS

Use the Operations group to list CICS regions, transactions, and installed programs.

On OL-CICS → Browse or CTG → Browse, click Populate from CICS to discover programs via CMCI, match COBOL source, and add selected programs to the CICS catalog. The host needs a CICS (or OL-CICS) endpoint plus RSE or JZOS for source. Each selected row is saved or rejected on its own.

Manage resource definitions

Use the Definitions group for CEDA-style actions:

• Define a resource
• Alter an existing definition
• Delete a definition
• List CICS libraries

Perform changes only with approved operational procedures and the appropriate backend authorization.
