CICS Transaction Gateway V5 The WebSphere ... - IBM Redbooks

Tip: Environment variables can be set at different levels with WebSphere
Application Server. Since we had only one J2EE Server and one J2EE Server
instance, this was of little concern in our configuration. However, in a more
complex environment you should consider setting common environment
variables at the highest level.
In the case of the CICS TG, we suggest you set the CLASSPATH and
LIBPATH at the J2EE Server level, and DFHJVPIPE and at the J2EE Server
instance level. You should also note that there is no need to set
CTG_RRMNAME when using the CICS TG with WebSphere for z/OS, since
WebSphere performs the registration with MVS Resource Recovery Services
(RRS).
10.2.2 HTTP Server definitions
We added the following statement to our HTTP Server configuration file
/web/cics6/httpd.conf:
Service /CTGTester*/*
/usr/lpp/WebSphere/WebServerPlugIn/bin/was400plugin.so:service_exit
This statement causes inbound HTTP requests starting with the string
/CTGTesterECIWeb/* to be routed to the WebSphere plugin.
10.2.3 System Management End-User Interface
This section describes the steps you have to take to install and run the System
Management End-User Interface on your workstation.
Establish communication to the host
The Administration and Operations applications both use TCP/IP to
communicate between your workstation and the host. All IP names used to
communicate with the host must be defined either to your DNS server or in your
workstation hosts file. The host names that are required are as follows:
► The bootstrap server IP name
The name associated with the initial connection to the host. It is defined by
the RESOLVE_IPNAME parameter of the z/OS sysplex environment file (as
shown in Example 10-2 on page 245).
► The naming server IP name
A generic name associated with your naming server and defined by the
DAEMON_IPNAME parameter of the z/OS sysplex environment file. If you
have more than one name server (that is, a federated name space) you must
