The following prerequisites are required to be installed before installing this update.
| CICS Explorer | 1.0.0.4 or later | The CICS Explorer needs to be at this version before this Configuration Manager plug-in update can be installed. For existing CICS Explorer downloads make sure the version is at least 1.0.0.4 by clicking Help -> About IBM CICS Explorer. It should state the version to be 1.0.0.4 or higher, if not your CICS Explorer installation will need to be updated. The CICS Explorer by default includes a link to its update-site (http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/htp/cics/updates/explorer/). If it's there you can just update it by selecting Help -> Software Updates... and on the "Installed Software" tab, click on "Update...". It should then find an Update for the CICS Explorer. If so, install it, restart when prompted and then install this CICS Configuration Manager plug-in as normal. If there was not an update for the CICS Explorer and your version is less than 1.0.0.4 make sure the default update-site is present in the CICS Explorer. You can do this by selecting Help -> Software Updates... from the main menu. Click the "Available Software" tab and click the "Manage Sites..." and the update-site should normally be there, if not, add it manually by clicking "Add Site...". Once that's done retry updating the CICS Explorer and the update should be found. |
