These tasks illustrate how you can set up and use the CICS Explorer™ to
manage your CICSplex.
Getting help
Use the online help system to browse, search, and print
system documentation. The help system also provides a context-sensitive
help that gives an overview of the resource with which you are working,
and a text search capability for finding the information you need
by keyword. You can also broaden the search scope to
include external sources of information. The help
is displayed either in a Help view in the workbench, in a separate
Help Contents window, or in an external browser window.
Integrating other help documentation in the CICS Explorer
You can enhance the CICS
Explorer help by integrating other documentation, such as locally
written operating processes and procedures, or documentation from
another source, such as the CICS® information
center.
Working with resources
These example tasks illustrate how you can manage resources
using the CICS Explorer.
You must be connected to a CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® version
4 or later to edit or perform actions against resources. CICS and CICSPlex® SM
resources are displayed in resource views. Each resource view displays
a single type of resource, for example the File view displays only
file resources and the Program Definition view displays only program
definition resources.
