    Extending CICS SMF records with relation between transaction and programs

    Hello, we are currently looking into our application which transaction is calling which programs. This is not easy to find out because there is currently no information about that relation in CICS statistics. The CICS statistics already shows whic...

    Enable turning USER EXITs on and off through CPSM, CICS Explorer, etc.

    Currently this can only be done through the CICS SPI. However, it's not hard to create an exit that locks everyone out of the native CICS black screen (in our case, this was the desired outcome, except for system users), and (as a side effect) pre...

    Consistent SMF 110 Record generation for Long Running Transactions

    In our shop, we have long running transactions (LRT) that are primarily or entirely threadsafe. We have MNFREQ set to 1 minute and don't get consistent SMF 110 record generation for the LRTs. This may be because the LRT was not on the QR TCB when ...

    RUWAPOOL must work for DPLed (Distributed Program Linked) programs

    Specifying RUWAPOOL=YES in the SIT gives an installation the chance to reduce the number of CICS GETMAINs and FREEMAINs thus reducing overhead and therefore saving cpu cycles. The “System Initialization Parameter Reference” book states the followi...

    Enable the Surrogate check for INTRDR with XUSER=NO

    Hi Team, Currently we use XUSER=NO, and we are looking forward to activate surrogate check only to INTRDR. Keeping XUSER=NO and activating the below toggles doesn't help the surrogate check for the jobs running through INTRDR.com.ibm.cics.spool.su...

    Please provide a CICS Explorer Operation view for Partner-Definitions

    Hello everyone, In the CICS Explorer you can display the partner definitions under Definitions. Unfortunately, you cannot display the partner definitions under Operations, i.e. the active definitions are not displayed. In the WUI you could display...

    When a task purge/forcepurge attempt fails, there will be a log message saying so

    We get a lovely message saying that the request to purge (or force purge) a task has been accepted. If it works, we get a message saying the task ended. If it doesn't... nothing.

    remove systematic access to SYS1.PARMLIB by the CICS translator

    with CICS TS 5.5 - the translator DFHECP1$ read SYS1.PARMLIB even if the DFHAPIR member is in a "user.PARMLIB" it has read access to the SYS1.PARMLIB - This generates security errors because this PDS is not accessible for developers. This is not b...

    Specify the CCSID in the DFHLS2JS utility so that the char data in the data structure can be encoded independently at runtime

    We can use the DFHLS2JS utility in the CICS JSON assistant to create from a copybook a bundle that contains the JSON file. The JSON file is normally used again in a CICS transaction. Now it is the case that we want to reuse the utility for another...

    Turn CICS trace, DFHTRAP, or Stg Violation checker ON or OFF based on CICS issuing a message or on matching a CICS Policy

    Some customers will not run with CICS internal trace active all the time, especially in production. But there are times where we will need to turn CICS diagnostic features on to capture diagnostics. If the event being diagnosed is not easily repro...
