AWS Blue Age 4.8.0 CICS transform - CSD commands output

Based on the information provided, it appears that the output you're seeing is not the expected result for a full transformation in AWS Blu Age 4.8.0. Typically, when performing a complete transformation of CICS programs including CSD (CICS System Definition) files, you should expect to see SQL outputs, including the initJics.sql file.

The absence of the SQL folder and the initJics.sql file suggests that there might be an issue with your transformation settings or configuration. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Check if the "Only Weather Report" option is enabled in your transformation settings. This option, when active, restricts the output to only generate weather reports in XLSX format instead of full Java/Groovy outputs and associated SQL files.

2. Verify that the CSD file type is correctly set in your project. There have been improvements to file type classifications, so you may need to launch the classification process again in your codebase project. This should set the CARDDEMO type to CSDCOMMAND instead of CSD.

3. Ensure that your CARDDEMO CSD file contains the expected VSAM file definitions. If the file is empty or missing necessary information, it could result in incomplete SQL file generation.

4. Double-check that you've followed all CICS configuration steps correctly as outlined in the workshop instructions.

5. Try running a complete project scope transformation again after verifying these settings.

If after checking these points you still don't see the expected SQL outputs, it may be worth reaching out to AWS support or consulting the latest Blu Age documentation, as the tools and processes are continuously evolving.
