    Enhance CBAC CBKCLINK program with CICSPLEX support

    A time-critical job, currently reliant on an in-house program using EXEC CPSM PERFORM for file operations, cannot be migrated to CBAC CBKCLINK due to lacks of CICSPLEX support. When a PLEX LPAR restarts after maintenance, the current setup does no...

    Use of generic character in SET TRANSID for CBAC

    We are planning the migration from CA DADS to CICS Batch Application Control and faced the need to convert CICS commands like “CEMT SET TRANSID(XX*),ENABLESTATUS(DISABLED)" allowed in DADS,too, as CBAC command using “SET TRANSID”, that is the only...

    more configurable BIND module for program level parameters

    * BIND dynamically * *** this module is already developed by CIO *** The actual bind module parameters are staticly defined in the environment file. This doesn't allows set parameters by DBRM files. There should be a bind instruction file w...

    CPU excessive when collecting data using CICS IA 5.1 and CICS IA 5.2.

    Customer attempts to collect data using CICS Interdependency Analyzer. The CPU increases significantly when when CICS IA is activated. Customer performed tests where CICS CPU performance increased from 27% to 62% under CICS IA 5.1. There is some i...

    Interface CBAC with CEDA

    Just like you have interfaced CBAC with CEMT using RUNCEMT, we are asking to do the same for CEDA with a RUNCEDA facility. Our intention is to use CBAC to install CSD resources on a CBAC group level. As an example we hope to perform these CEDA com...

    Allow cBAC to store a start request in the cBAC control file when CICS is down so that the start command can then execute when the CICS region comes up

    We are currently considering converting from DADS to cBAC and are testing cBAC in a CICS test region. We did find a function that DADS can do but cBAC cannot do. We have many applications that do a start tran in DADS so that the start command is e...

    Thread Safety for PL/I programs with CICS IA

    For PL/I programs compiled with RENT option, CICS IA cannot correctly attribute the EXEC CICS commands to the actual program. In fact, CICS IA attributes all EXEC CICS commands to program CEEEV003. This limitation should be relieved.

    Ability to alter DSNAME or attributes of file within CBAC regardless of the type of CICS startup(COLD/WARM/EMER).

    The ability to alter the DSNAME or attributes to be effective after a COLD start within CICS Batch Application Control is needed.
