The following prerequisites are required to be installed before installing this update.
| CICS Explorer | 1.0.0.7 or later | The CICS Explorer needs to be at this version before this Performance Analyzer plug-in update can be installed. For existing CICS Explorer downloads make sure the version is at least 1.0.0.7 by clicking Help -> About IBM CICS Explorer. It should state the version to be 1.0.0.7 or higher, if not your CICS Explorer installation will need to be updated. The CICS Explorer by default includes a link to its update-site (http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/htp/cics/updates/explorer/). If it's there you can just update it by selecting Help -> Software Updates... and on the "Installed Software" tab, click on "Update...". It should then find an Update for the CICS Explorer. If so, install it, restart when prompted and then install this CICS Performance Analyzer plug-in as normal. If there was not an update for the CICS Explorer and your version is less than 1.0.0.7 make sure the default update-site is present in the CICS Explorer. You can do this by selecting Help -> Software Updates... from the main menu. Click the "Available Software" tab and click the "Manage Sites..." and the update-site should normally be there, if not, add it manually by clicking "Add Site...". Once that's done retry updating the CICS Explorer and the update should be found. |

Please read the known limitations with this update below to understand what is covered by this update.
| CICS PA plug-in memory limitations | Using csv files might cause OutOfMemory Exceptions when an inadequate Java™ heap size has been allocated. There is no hard rule to what needs to be allocated and many users might find that the default maximum heap size is perfectly sufficient. However it might be necessary in some circumstances to increase the value, following the examples below: In a Windows® or Linux® command line, change the directory to the one where the cicsexplorer.exe (cicsexplorer on Linux) file is located. Start the CICS Explorer by typing the following command: cicsexplorer -vmargs -Xmx512m Alternatively, you can modify the cicsexplorer.ini file in the CICS _Explorer subdirectory to add the following information: -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m then start the CICS Explorer as normal. |
