Service Virtualization

Hello All ,

We want to create test case which can hit CICS mainframe to get response back? So we want to use Lisa as client to trigger request to CICS.

Can any one tell what steps we have to use and how this cane be done?

What are pre-requisites required for this?

Please suggest.

Thanks..

Hello Shivam,

         With DevTest 10.1, you have the ability to generate baseline test for CICS programs. This will execute a transaction frame on CICS Agent. You can select the option to create a baseline once you shelve a frame in the CICS program flow. 

Thanks,

Surya.

Thanks Surya for reply.

Do we have any document for this? or step by step details so that I can follow that? If you have implemented that then share it with us.

Cheers..

You must install and configure the DevTest Agent on the LPAR and CICS environment in order to use the features Surya.Suravarapu describes. The installation of the Agent is may require some firewall openings between the DevTest Broker and CICS agent.

See: Install the CICS Agent - DevTest Solutions - 10.1 - CA Technologies Documentation  

There are YouTube videos describing the process flow. Here are a couple for example:

Thanks Joel for sharing links. Will go through these.
