A bundle is the collection of CICS resources, artifacts,
references, and a manifest that represent an application in the CICS
region. To make an SCA composite application available in CICS, you
must create and deploy a CICS bundle.
You can use the Remote Systems Explorer view in Rational
Developer for System z to establish a connection to the z/OS UNIX
subsystem.
- Establish a z/OS connection to the correct z/OS UNIX directory.
- Click to create a connection
to the CICS Resource Definition server.
- Select the FileAmountServices project and right-click to
select the Deploy SCA Bundle menu option.
- Complete the Deploy Bundle dialog to deploy the bundle
to the correct directory on z/OS UNIX.
The bundle is packaged into an archive file, transferred to
the host, and unpacked. If you filled out the CICS Resource Definitions
section of the dialog, the BUNDLE resource definition is created in
Application Deployment Manager (ADM) manifest file and the BUNDLE
resource is installed in the specified CICS region. If you do not
have the right authority to install a BUNDLE resource definition,
export the ADM manifest file so that a system programmer can install
the resource for you.
Test that the service works correctly in the CICS region.
