When you install a platform definition, the platform is
created in the CICSplex where the platform definition is defined.
Procedure
- Open CICS® Cloud
perspective. In Cloud Explorer view, right-click the platform definition
that you want to install and click install.
- Click OK to install the platform
definition.
- Optional: If you have any CICS bundles deployed with the platform right-click
the platform and click Enable.
- Click OK to enable the platform.
Results
When you install the platform definition, a platform is created
in the CICSplex, and CICSPlex SM
attempts to install any CICS bundles
that are associated with the platform. The platform is initially installed
in a disabled state, and when you enable the platform any CICS bundles that were installed
with the platform are enabled. If you did not install any bundles
with the platform, you do not need to carry out the enable action.
CICSPlex SM creates a PLATFORM
resource to represent the platform in the CICSplex. CICSPlex SM also creates a record for the
platform in the data repository (DREP), which is used in recovery
processing for the bundles for platforms.
The relationship between
the platform and each installed CICS bundle
is saved in a management part. The management part is a MGMTPART record
that is created automatically for each CICS bundle
during the platform installation process. The management part records
the CICS regions where the
bundle is installed, and tracks the status of the bundle in the CICS regions.
What to do next
Click to view the installed
platform and check its status.
Checking the status of a platform explains
how to perform this check. The platform status shows whether the platform
was successfully installed and enabled.
