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).
