CICS


If you will use Non-virtualized Test under CICS, you must activate EXCI, Library support and program autoinstall.

XATZ is calling test programs in CICS using EXCI.

If you are using Xatz with both CICS and Db2 then a dynamic plan exit is used for Db2 access.

The supplied CSD Group TOPAXTST contains all definitions for the CICS components of Xatz.

You can use the sample job XAUPDCSD to define the TOPAXTST group to your CICS DFHCSD file and, you can use the sample edit macro XATWUCSD to edit XAUPDCSD. If your test units require the CICS TWA to be used as communication area, be sure to set the TWA size for transaction XATZ.

You also need the SIT parameter

RRMS=YES

which in turn requires the z/OS RRS service to be active.
