To configure CICS® IA for a UDB database, you need to complete these fields:

SHORT OR FULL CONFIGURATION

Set this option to S (Short), if you want to create a UDB configuration by specifying a short list of required variables. All of the other variables will be set to default values.

Set this option to F (Full), if you want to specify all of the required variables.

REQUIRED

UDB CONFIGURATION

The name of the new UDB configuration.

REQUIRED

DESCRIPTION

A short description of the UDB configuration.

OPTIONAL

Output UDB data sets

OUTPUT DSN FOR UDB SCIUSAMP: The output data set that contains the modified SCIUSAMP members to configure UDB database.
REQUIRED
OUTPUT DSN FOR UDB SCIUDAT1: The output data set that contains the modified SCIUDAT1 members to extract UDB CSV Files.
REQUIRED
OUTPUT DSN FOR UDB SCIUDAT2: The output data set that contains the modified SCIUDAT2 members to extract UDB CSV Files.
REQUIRED
OUTPUT DEVICE TYPE: The device type for the output data sets. Defaults to SYSDA.

REQUIRED
UDB TABLE QUALIFIER (SCHEMA): This variable is the qualifier, which is sometimes referred to as schema for the database objects. This value is also required when you connect with the CICS® IA plug-in, for example: CICSIA61.
REQUIRED
UDB CODESET: Specifies the code set to use for data that is entered into this database. The recommended value is 1252.
REQUIRED
UDB TERRITORY: Specifies the territory that is to be used for data that is entered into this database. The recommended value is US.
REQUIRED
UDB DATABASE SERVER DIRECTORY: This variable is the directory on your server where the database is located. The directory that you select must exist on your server, for example: CICSIAUDB.
REQUIRED
