Event Capture support for EXEC SQL call

Now the event capture in application program only support the EXEC CICS API, for example PROGRAM INIT or PROGRAM LINK, the data we capture in this level, maybe some raw data that not handled yet, and this is not what we want. And the final data that we really want is just before writing into DB2, so the data captured during the EXEC SQL call is the perfect one.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Email response from IBM rep with feedback from customer:

    The customer wants the standard SQL call can be monitored, like INSERT, UPDATE, etc, and the related table name, record name, record value to be captuered.

    What type of EXEC SQL requests do you want to capture ?

    It should be noted that depending upon the type of SQL command issued by the application, it is not possible for CICS event processing to be able to see the table name and variables.

    If for example you use cursors you can declare a cursor that when opened will perform a select on a table, eg

    EXEC SQL DECLARE CSRR    CURSOR FOR    
             SELECT C1,NAME              
             FROM      OWNER.TSTCHOLD;      

    From the application, you just issue EXEC SQL OPEN CSRR and all that we would see from the CICS side was that there was an open request for a cursor called CSRR. Inside DB2 it would then go an issue the select and CICS will know nothing about this.
