CICS Transaction Server for z/OS

Showing 1156

Allow transactions started by MQ bridge monitor (CKBR transaction) to be eligible for CICS dynamic transaction routing .

Customer discovered that because of the way that the CKBR transaction (bridge monitor) issues transaction starts supplying a SYSID means they are not actually eligible for dynamic transaction routing. CICS should be changed now to remove this rest...

New Dataspace message

We need a new message to be produced by CICS each time a new Dataspace is allocated. Customers closely monitor storage use within a CICS region. In the past, there was never a need to worry about dataspace storage for Datatables going above 2GB si...

Improve CICS Sockets Configuration and Management

We would like to see the CICS Sockets interface taken over by CICS, rather than being "owned" by z/OS Communications Server (at least I think that's where it is). It's clear from the way one defines and manages this interface that it is not CICS-l...

Simple start from own pgms&TA's via the CICS midnight processing (GSE requirement GGCIC09002)

At midnight CICS documents its midnight processing with the DFHIC0801 message. It should be possible here to start own programs and transactions with simple technologies (for example via SIT parameters or INITPARM) BUSVAL : 5INVVAL : 5ENDVAL : 1GR...

Allow for STATUS(DISABLED) on program autoinstall

Provide a FSPROF type parameter on the TRANDEF to be used for function shipping requests instead of default DFHCICSF.

Further discussion here has highlighted the fact that DFHCICSF is 'hard coded' into CICS Function Shipping which means it appliesto ALL DPLs, etc., originating from a particular region. We need greater granularity ... i.e., we feel there should a ...

Return EIBRESP2 to DPL clients

When a dynamic DPL fails, the root error condition is intercepted by CPSM, and a generic error is returned to the client. This makes subsequent problem determination difficult and time consuming. It also prohibits intelligent error handling in the...
