CICS Transaction Server for z/OS

Showing 1307

Enhance CMAS and ESSS maintenance level checks

Enhance the CMAS and ESSS maintenance level checks to not be limited to checking only when ESSS is not already running. This would provide a sanity check with applying maintenance that requires ESSS to be terminated and restarted.

DFHAC2236 does not appear when CICS webservice transaction abends.

Right now, when a CICS webservice abends only message DFHSR0001 is generated. In order to maintain monitoring and accounting mechanisms it would be nice to have message DFHAC2236 in CICS LOG.

Allow SCOPE=SYSTEM on sysplex wide ENQ
