Setting up a CICS managed application system (MAS)

Follow this instruction to set up a CICS® system as a managed application system (MAS) to CICSPlex® SM.

Note: If a MAS specifies a CMASSYSID and the CMAS is active but does not manage the CICSplex, the MAS waits until the specified CMAS is managing the CICSplex before it joins the CICSplex. This behavior is the same as when CMASSYSID is not specified.

Before you begin

  1. Check your initialization values, changes between releases and maintenance you might need to apply to your system.
  2. Check the considerations for setting up a MAS, described in Designing your CICSPlex SM environment.
  3. If you are converting your CICSPlex SM systems from a previous release to a higher release, see Upgrading for instructions.
