Changes to configuration files on UNIX and Linux

This information describes the configuration changes introduced in CICS® Transaction Gateway V9.2.

The default location of the configuration files has moved from <install_path>/bin to /var/cicscli. The installer automatically moves existing configuration files from <install_path>/bin to /var/cicscli during an upgrade, provided that files of the same name are not already in /var/cicscli. The configuration files include: ctg.ini, cicscol.ini, cicskey.ini, and ctgd.conf.

For more information about <install_path> see File path terminology

The ctgd command on UNIX and Linux® was changed in CICS Transaction Gateway V9.2 so that it is not necessary to define a ctgd.conf configuration file. If the CTGDCONF variable is not defined and the var/cicscli/ctgd.conf file does not exist, the ctgd command will use the value set in the adminport parameter in the ctg.ini configuration file. If this parameter is not set, the default 2810 is used. All other parameters will be set to default values. For more information, see the ctgd command reference.
