Step 1: Update the CICS/6000 Region Environment File
To update the CICS/6000 environment file
1. Declare the environment variables used by Ingres tools (such as Query-By-Forms) or Ingres applications in the following CICS/6000 file:
/var/cics_regions/region_name/environment
Replace the value region_name with the name of the CICS region being configured. In this file, the entries must be in the form variable=value. Variable substitution is not permitted; the entries must be specified in full.
The following sample environment file illustrates the entries required for an Ingres installation located in the “/install/65” directory.
Example: CICS/6000 environment file
# INGRES Definitions
#
II_SYSTEM=/install/65
PATH=/install/65/ingres/bin:other_path_entries...
LIBPATH=/install/65/ingres/lib:other_library_entries...
2. After updating the environment file, define the transactions and associated programs to the CICS/6000 region as described in the CICS/6000 Customization and Operation Guide.
