Initializing MainView for CICS

This modification starts BBI-SS PAS-to-CICS communication, and optionally starts MainView for CICS monitoring, and the task kill function. If you did not modify the PLT, MainView for CICS can be initialized manually from:

• a CICS terminal

• a z/OS console that is defined to CICS

• the CREGAGT view in a BBI-SS terminal session (using windows mode for a static target)

To initialize MainView for CICS from a CICS terminal

1. Log on to a CICS terminal.
2. Type FST2 INIT.
3. Press Enter.

   To initialize MainView for CICS from a z/OS console that is defined to CICS, use the MODIFY command to invoke the FST2 transaction by using the INIT option. For example, the following command initializes MainView for CICS in the CICS region with the z/OS job name of CICSPROD:

   F CICSPROD,FST2 INIT

To initialize MainView for CICS from a BBI-SS terminal session in windows mode

1. Log on to a BBI-SS terminal session in windows mode and request the CREGAGT view.
2. Type INI on the line for the target CICS.
3. Press Enter.

   The INI line command initiates MainView for CICS for static targets only. Dynamic targets must be initialized from the target CICS. For more information on dynamic targets, refer to BBI-SS PAS and CICS target connection.
