Operating the CICS adapter

 

This chapter describes how we can use the CICS adapter control functions to initiate and manage connections between WebSphere MQ and CICS. It describes these tasks:

• Invoking the adapter's control functions

• Accessing the CICS adapter control panels

• Starting a connection

• Stopping a connection

• Modifying a connection

• Displaying details of connections and CICS tasks

• Starting an instance of the task initiator CKTI

• Stopping an instance of CKTI

• Displaying the current instances of CKTI

• Displaying CICS task information

• Purging tasks that are using the CICS adapter

• Shutting down a connection between WebSphere MQ and the CICS adapter

Before we can use the CICS adapter for messaging, start the queue manager.
