Use cicsping after you configure the z/OS mainframe and the server and before you configure DirectConnect for z/OS Option TRS or DB2 access services. You need to use the -H and -N parameters to test each region, one at a time, that you use when you configure TRS or ACSLIB.
The following example tests a single region located at the host, listening on “BIGSYB” port number “3003.” Replace these example parameter values with the correct host name and port number values for your site in this example:
cicsping -HBIGSYB -N3003
