This panel allows you to create a new system definition. You must specify the system name and type.

You can bypass this panel by entering the command NEW name CICS|IMAGE|DB2|MQ|LOGGER in full.

The options are:
System Name
Specify the name of the new system. Names can contain only alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters. For a CICS® APPLID, DB2® or MQ SSID, or Logger name you can also specify a pattern using the % and * masking characters.

A CICS APPLID, Image, or Logger name has a maximum length of 8 characters, whereas for a DB2 or MQ SSID it is 4 characters.

Type
Select the type of system:
  1. CICS System. Either a CICS Transaction Server system identified by its generic APPLID, or a CICS Transaction Gateway system identified by its APPLID. CICS PA matches this name against the CICS Transaction Server generic APPLID specified in SMF 110 and SMF 112 records, and the CICS Transaction Gateway APPLID specified in SMF 111 records.
  2. MVS™ Image. MVS System, identified by its MVS SMF ID (SID parameter in SMFPRMnn) or any name that uniquely identifies your system. The name need not match any formal MVS definition.
  3. DB2 Subsystem. DB2 Subsystem, identified by its SSID. CICS PA matches this name against the SSID specified in the DB2 accounting records.
  4. MQ Subsystem. WebSphere® MQ Subsystem, identified by its SSID. CICS PA matches this name against the SSID specified in the MQ accounting records.
  5. System Logger. MVS System Logger, identified by the CICS or MVS system it services or any name that identifies the Logger system. The name need not match any formal MVS definition.
