Installing CICS TS

You must install two components for any of the three editions of CICS Transaction Server for z/OS: the base component and the activation module that is specific to each edition.

CICS® TS has two components:

CICS TS for z/OS® V5.5 - base component
An activation module specific to the offering

These components can be installed in any order but they must both be installed before you can run the installation verification procedures, described in Verifying the CICS installation.
