Rational Developer for System z

Create and deploy a CICS bundle

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.

About this task

You can use the Remote Systems view in Rational Developer for System z to establish a connection to the z/OS UNIX subsystem.

Procedure

  1. Establish a z/OS connection to the correct z/OS UNIX directory.
  2. Click Window > Preferences > Connections to create a connection to the CICS Resource Definition server.
  3. Select the FileAmountServices project and right-click to select the Deploy SCA Bundle menu option.
  4. Complete the Deploy Bundle dialog to deploy the bundle to the correct directory on z/OS UNIX.

Results

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.

What to do next

Test that the service works correctly in the CICS region.
