The CICS Explorer Deployment Assistant (CICS DA) plug-in, shown in
Figure 6-13 on page 233, works in conjunction with CICS Explorer to help to
discover, model, visualize, and deploy CICS regions. It allows CICS systems
programmers to create and maintain a CICS environment easily. One can deploy
new and existing CICS regions using automation and policy-driven advice,
improving productivity and reducing complexity, time to effectiveness, and risk.
Using CICS DA you can perform the following tasks:
Discover and visualize CICSplexes and CICS regions in a sysplex.
Create an offline model to share with others.
Discover connectivity relationships ...
