Administering platforms and applications

Use CICS Explorer® to manage and update platforms and applications. You can view, update, and remove applications from platforms. You can remove a platform from a CICSplex if it is no longer required and you can add or remove CICS regions from a region type.

Use the CICS® Cloud perspective in the CICS Explorer to view and administer your installed platforms and applications. See Working with platforms in the CICS Explorer product documentation for information about how to:
  • Check status:
    • See status of an installed platform, application and CICS bundle
    • See status of the CICS regions that are part of the platform
  • See attributes of platform and applications and their resources:
    • Platform and application resources that are currently installed in your CICSplex
    • Platform and application resources that are not currently installed
    • Private resources that have been installed for the application, by the region where they are installed or by the CICS bundle where they are defined
  • Modify platforms:
    • Add a CICS region to a region type
    • Remove a CICS region from a region type
    • Enable, disable or discard a platform
  • Modify applications:
    • Update an application project or application binding
    • Make an application available or unavailable to callers
    • Enable, disable or discard a version of an application
