The Dependency database objects

The Dependency database objects contain accumulated data about all your programs and transactions and the resources that they use.

You also have the option to group your transactions into applications so that you can query application dependencies. Update the database regularly to add new information recorded by the Collector in the VSAM dependency files. CICS® IA provides a job to create the database objects and a suite of batch programs to update the database. See Updating the Dependency database objects for more details.

Typically, there is only one set of Dependency database objects, even if you have separate dependency data and control record files for each region monitored by the Collector. In the latter case, you would typically feed the information in every VSAM dependency data file into the one set of Dependency database objects. Using one database makes it easier to compare and contrast dependency data from different regions.

For details about the dependency database objects, see The structure of the CICS IA database.

In addition facilitating tables are used in the updates of the base tables.
