Implement CEDA CHECK (e.g. for LIST) to ensure CICS region starts properly

Implement the CEDA CHECK option in CICS Explorer (see http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v4r2/topic/com.ibm.cics.ts.resourcedefinition.doc/ceda/commands/dfha4_check.html) to allow for example checking LISTs for consistency

Ability to account the CPU consumption for RLS access after migration to threadsafe.

After the programs were migrated to threadsafe, the CPU usage by the accesses to the RLS were removed from the SMF110 field, RLSCPUT (now is zero) and were added to the USRCPUT field, making the customer not able to know how much CPU time was cons...

Create new web socket timeout attribute

Like to request a new web socket timeout attribute separate from the DTIMEOUT element. As described in a recent PMR from IBM the DTIMEOUT is designed to release dead locks from other resources. It spends a lot of time issuing automatic retries and...

Improving the way CICS uses the global enqueues for ENQModels

We tried to implement an ENQ global (using ENQModel) but find out the response time for all the transactions using it increases significantly. IBM support told us the code managing this resource has a delay of 100 milliseconds between calls to che...

Enhancing Health Checker for transaction rate falls to zero and remains at zero

We believe this will add value to Health Checker for CICS. The same monitoring and alert generation mechanism can provide a consistent UI to support teams.

Enhancing Health Checker for recursive S0C* abends

We believe this will add value to Health Checker for CICS. The same monitoring and alert generation mechanism can provide a consistent UI to support teams.

Enhancing Health Checker for Max Tasks (MXT)

We believe this will add value to Health Checker for CICS. The same monitoring and alert generation mechanism can provide a consistent UI to support teams. It would be better if it can respond when a region is approaching MXT from say 75% then 80%...

Enhancing Health Checker for Short-on-Storage (SOS) above or below the line

We believe this will add value to Health Checker for CICS. The same monitoring and alert generation mechanism can provide a consistent UI to support teams.
