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

Testing the configuration
After we installed and configured the software components, we tested our
configuration as follows:
1. Checked the SNA Link Station from the workstation to VTAM was active, as
follows:
– Start the SNA Node Operation tool by clicking Start -> Programs -> IBM
Personal Communications -> Administrative and PD Aids -> SNA
Node Operations.
Figure 2-7 SNA Node Operations, Connection status
– From the central drop-down list box, select Connections. Check that the
state of the connection is Active. This indicates that the XID exchange
between the workstation PU and the VTAM PU was successful.
2. Started the CICS region SCSCPJA1.
3. Installed the CICS CONNECTION and SESSIONS definitions (since we were
not using connection autoinstall).
4. Checked the state of the CICS connection using the command:
CEMT I CONN
5. The connection should show Acq, meaning LU 6.2 sessions are bound.
