Enable CICS

You can use Customer Information Control System (CICS) for Tosca OSV. This allows you to create a service port for a CICS transaction gateway and to work with copybook messages.

This is an API & OSV Early Access feature. It was developed for demo purposes and requires increased configuration effort.

Licensing

To use CICS for OSV, you need a CICS license. For detailed information on licenses, contact your Tricentis sales person.

Enable CICS in Tosca Commander

Once you have a CICS license and configured the service port, you can record copybook messages in OSV.

If you want to use your copybooks in Tosca Commander, for instance to create Module Attributes, you have to enable CICS protocol in the API Engine as well.

The following chapters provide detailed information on how to:

• Configure a CICS service port

• Work with copybook messages

• Import copybook messages to API Scan
