As an application developer, you can use the plug-in to perform various CICS-related tasks, such as the following:
For more information about general development guidelines and CICS plug-in specific information, see the Contribution Guidelines.
Tip: Follow the tutorials on the documentation site to start developing your first plug-in!
Before you install the plug-in, meet the following prerequisites:
Install Zowe CLI on your PC.
Note: For more information, see Installing Zowe CLI.
Ensure that IBM CICS Transaction Server v5.2 or later is installed and running in your mainframe environment.
Ensure that IBM CICS Management Client Interface (CMCI) is configured and running in your CICS region.

The first time that you download the Zowe CLI plug-in for CICS from the GitHub repository, issue the following command against the local directory:
npm install
The command installs the required Zowe CLI Plug-in for CICS dependencies and several development tools. When necessary, you can run the task at any time to update the tools.
To build your code changes, issue the following command:
npm run build
Note: When you update package.json
to include new dependencies, or when you pull changes that affect package.json
, issue the npm update
command to download the dependencies.
Follow these steps:
Meet the prerequisites.
Install the plug-in:
zowe plugins install @zowe/cics@latest

tag to try new features that have not been fully validated. For more information about tag usage, see NPM Tag Names.
(Optional) Verify the installation:
zowe plugins validate @zowe/cics

Follow these steps:
zowe profiles create cics <profile name> <host> <port> <user> <password>
The result of the command displays as a success or failure message. You can use your profile when you issue commands in the cics command group.Tip: For more information about the syntax, actions, and options, for a profiles create command, open Zowe CLI and issue the following command:
zowe profiles create cics -h
For information about running automated, unit, and system and integration tests using the plug-in, see Zowe CLI Plug-in Testing Guidelines.
