Deploying a CICS non-OSGi Java application
The Java™ applications
are included in a CICS® bundle
and can be deployed directly to a z/OS® UNIX System Services (z/OS UNIX)
file system from CICS Explorer®.
The exported bundle includes the application JAR files that are used
by CICS.
Note: If
you are using a version of CICS TS
earlier than CICS TS V4.2 you
can still deploy non-OSGi Java applications
using CICS Explorer.
About this task
This task outlines the steps to deploy a non-OSGi Java application. The process is the same as for an OSGi application; the only difference is that CICS uses the application JAR file instead of the bundle.
Note: If you are not authorized to deploy
the bundle directly to a z/OS file
system, you can export the bundle as a compressed file. See the related
links for more information.
Procedure
- Convert the Java application to a plug-in project. See the topic Converting an existing Java project to a plug-in project for more information.
- Add the plug-in project to a CICS bundle. See the topic Adding a project to a CICS bundle project for more information.
- Deploy the bundle project to a z/OS Unix file system. See the topic Deploying a CICS(r) bundle for more information.
