Applications

An application is a workspace that holds one or more operations. Think of it as a project folder.

• Create — header dropdown → New application…. Enter a name, optional description, and Remote screen backend (CICS (MQ) or IMS Connect).
• Switch — select a different application from the same dropdown.
• Edit — pencil icon: rename, description, or Database settings. The backend is read-only.
• Delete — trash icon. Removes all operations, descriptors, and flows permanently.

Names must be lowercase slugs: start with a letter, then letters, digits, and hyphens (for example myapp or add-transaction).

The remote screen backend is required and immutable. Maps and Player use that backend for every operation. Configure the host or broker under Global Settings — you cannot switch a CICS workspace to IMS later.

Database settings

On Edit application:

• H2 (default) — in-memory database per play session. Optional schema (defaults to the application name).
• DB2 or DB400 — JDBC URL, user, password, and schema, then Test connection before Save.
