CICS/IA Database Purge

CICS/IA currently does not have a purge process to weed out records that are not necessary. The current purge process is to simply delete database rows for records that have not been used in some interval. But this can purge the good with the bad. For example, we sometimes have production programs that are only used once a quarter or even once a year. And in test, a program may be tested only when it has been changed, and that could be many months or years. So using date as the only criteria will delete records that we would like to keep.

    Mike,
    For future reference, to raise RFEs on the CICS Tools, select 'Enterprise Tooling' as the product family, and then under Product you can delect CICS IA.
