Setting up a time-out mechanism in detecting workload association

We had a situation where routing region was not associated with a workload, and CPSM kept re-dispatching the transaction checking this association every second as if in a loop. This leads to a MAXTASK situation in the region, and prevent other tra...

Workload balancing support between CICSPlex SM WUI servers

There is nothing done in the CICSPlex SM WUI to allow / tolerate the support of sysplex distributor/port sharing/workload balancing between WUI Servers. Once you have signed onto a WUI, you have to use the same WUI Server until signoff. There is n...

CPSM workload quiescing (SHARE requirement SSCICS064390)

We would like the option to be able to quiesce the workload for only a specific WLMSPEC. Currently when the CICS region is quiesced, it is quiesced for ALL WLMSPECs. We would like the ability to quiesce the workload for 1 or more SPECs. BUSVAL : 4...

CICSPlex/SM DPL Dynamic Routing Target Scope program name based

When a dynamic DPL is executed from a CICS region, the criteria CICSPlex/SM uses to decide the CICS System Group (or CICS region) scope is mirror transaction name based, not based in the name of the remote program defined with Dynamic(YES). In thi...

Need for improved workload frozen diagnostics

Method WSFW is called to freeze and defrost workloads based on the joining or terminating of TORs and AORs from the workload after a lost contact occurs. Lost contact can occur if a CMAS connection times-out or if a CMAS recycles. After each updat...

CICSPlex SM Transaction Groups

New Functionality - the ability to add generic transactions to a CICSPLEX/SM TRANGRP rather than coding individual transaction ids in the adding transaction to a transaction group panel.

Create workload when first target AOR region joins

CICSPlex SM needs to allow the creation of the workload as soon as an AOR connects to a CMAS where the target region is named in the AORSCOPE of any workload. The workload does not get created until the first router region is activated. This metho...

Package the infocenter with CICS

We have to go through a convoluted process and even follow a technote to install and use the CICS Infocenter. This a a Z/OS product. The infocenter should be delivered as part of Z/OS with jobs to install and run it. The other HFS parts of CICS ha...

Improve handling of "Aux Trace Full" condition

Currently, this situation occurs all too frequently:the support centre asks a customer to create a CICS AUXTrace; the customer does so, but the trace data set becomes full and is closed.The customer then sends in a truncated trace.The support cent...
