EXPANDING CICS

[TECHTASH]

THANKS FOR ALL THE RESONSES TO MY PREVIOUS POSTS.
HOW CAN I EXPAND MY COMPACT CICS PLUS FROM 4 LINES TO 8 LINES?? WHAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT DO I NEED??

Make sure CICS software is not restricted. Then you will need a LS/DS card or CI card to add lines.

Good Luck!!

If the software card does not say 4x8 or restricted on the label then you can expand. The NT7B75GA is a regular 4x0 LS trunk card so it can be used to expand the lines on your system.
