* IBM CICS Client for OS/2 - README *
************************************************************************
This file contains important information about the IBM CICS Client for
OS/2 that may not be available in the printed documentation.
The CICS Internet Gateway
-------------------------
If you selected to install the CICS Internet Gateway component please
refer to the file README.TXT in the \CICSCLI\CIG subdirectory once
installation is completed for any final information.
Notes for application developers:
The CICS Internet Gateway has certain restrictions forced upon it
by the way in which Web browsers work.
- Part of the DBCS support is provided by the Web browser. Because of
this it is not possible for the Web browser to stop SBCS characters being
typed into a DBCS only field (Described by the BMS map field PS=8). The
CICS transaction must therefore be aware of this possibility.
- Users should also be aware, that the code page of the Web browser, should
match that of the OS/2 codepage that the CICS Internet Gateway is running
in, in order that all characters can be handled correctly.
The CICS gateway for Lotus Notes
--------------------------------
If you selected to install the CICS gateway for Lotus Notes, there is an
optional utility program which you may wish to run. The program, named
CCLDBLD.EXE, creates a Lotus Notes database containing the gateway messages
from the CCLMSG.HLP file.
To use the program, perform the following sequence of steps:
1. Copy the program to your Lotus Notes directory e.g.
> COPY C:\CICSCLI\LOTUS\CCLDBLD.EXE C:\NOTES
2. Copy the database template, CCLNHELP.TMP, to your Lotus Notes data
directory giving it a new name of CCLNHELP.NSF e.g.
> COPY C:\CICSCLI\LOTUS\CCLNHELP.TMP C:\NOTES\DATA\CCLNHELP.NSF
3. Copy the program's data files, CCLFORM.MSG and CCLMSG.HLP, to your Lotus
Notes directory e.g.
> COPY C:\CICSCLI\LOTUS\CCLFORM.MSG C:\NOTES
> COPY C:\CICSCLI\BIN\CCLMSG.HLP C:\NOTES
You may not need to copy these files if they are already accessible via
your system's PATH definition statement.
4. Run the CCLDBLD program, specifying the names of the 2 data files
mentioned in Step 3, from your Lotus Notes directory e.g.
C:\NOTES> CCLDBLD CCLFORM.MSG CCLMSG.HLP
The output from the program will be placed into the Lotus Notes database
named CCLNHELP.NSF.
5. From Lotus Notes workspace, locate the CCLNHELP.NSF database and then add
the "CICS Gateway Help Information" icon.
PLEASE NOTE: You may find that some of the text in the Lotus Notes database is
corrupted by being overlaid by other characters. This problem can
be fixed by resizing the window (making the window wider) and thus
reflowing the text.
TCP/IP Support
--------------
IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 must be Version 2.0 or later.
Installing the CICS Client for OS/2
-----------------------------------
If you have a previous version of the CICS Client for OS/2 installed,
you should either install the CICS Client for OS/2 Version 2.0 to the
same directory as the older version, or uninstall the older version
first. If you do not want to remove or replace the older version of the
Client, you must ensure that the correct DLLs are used for each version.
If a version 2.0 Client loads a .DLL from an older version, traps will
occur.
Help Information for Client Messages
------------------------------------
In addition to the softcopy "Messages" book installed in the CICS Client
folder, the help text for all the CCL messages is provided in two ASCII
text files found in the \CICSCLI\BIN subdirectory. These may be viewed
using any standard text editor.
CCLMSG.HLP contains the help for the end user messages and is provided
translated into your chosen language.
CCLLOG.HLP contains the help for the trace and log messages and is
provided in English only.
Installing the IBM Library Reader
---------------------------------
The IBM Library Reader for each language is supplied on the CD-ROM in a
directory with the appropriate country code. If there is no such
directory for a language, the IBM Online Library was not translated into
that language, so US should be used.
To install or update the IBM Library Reader, follow the instructions in
Appendix A of CICS Clients v2.0 Administration except that the
directories EZ2INST and ILRWIN are sub-directories of the country-code
directory rather than of the root directory of the CD-ROM.
