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...

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.

CIUUPDB Inefficient duplicate processing

The Collector files contain a lot of info gathered over a number of years and it appears that the Batch job CIUUPDB process s every record even though there is just a few new updates in the collector files that need processed. We would like a way ...

Option in IA to use applid or region id in Explorer integration queries.

In CICS IA the data is collected against the CICS APPLID and that is correct. Currently the integration from CICS Explorer to CICS IA uses the applid. It would be good if CICS IA could provide an option setting to use region name or applid in the ...

Delay processing of CINB save to VSAM function.

We want to run the collector for a time period then pause without incurring the overhead of CINB writing to VSAM until later in the day when it is quieter.

CICS IA Support SQL Insert for DB2 LUW

CICS IA DB2 UDB support assumes that the data must be transferred to LUW and special scripts will be executed to import/load the data into the data base. There is no method on how to run batch jobs on z/OS to directly query DB2 UDB or load the dat...
