The Application Deployment Manager's two system programmer tools
are the Manifest Processing tool, a provided Eclipse plug-in, and the system
programmer administrative utility.
The Manifest Processing tool is provided as an Eclipse plug-in to the IBM® CICS® Explorer
and provides the following functions:
- List manifests from a CICS test environment repository (These manifests must
have previously been exported by a Rational® Developer for System z® application
developer using the Resource Definition Editor.)
- Import manifests for processing from a CICS test environment repository
- Update imported manifest resource definitions
- Install imported manifest resource definitions
- Export updated manifests back to the CICS test environment repository
The system programmer administrative utility provides the following functions:
- Supply the CICSPlex® name
for CICSPlex managed
test environments
- Supply CICS resource
attribute defaults and display permissions
- Supply the CICS VSAM
file logical to physical binding used for VSAM file definitions
These tools are documented in the IBM Rational Developer
for System z Host Configuration
Guide (SC23-7658-03).
