Availability for CICS releases

For information about the availability of CICS platforms and releases, see CICS system connectivity. However, some views, action commands, or overtype fields are not available for all of the supported CICS® releases. In this book, an Availability section in the discussion of each operations view identifies the CICS releases for which the view is generally available. In addition, the Action commands section in the discussion of each of these views specifies action commands and overtype fields for which availability is more limited. The online help for views, action commands, and overtype fields also provides availability information.

When you display a view and your CICSplex includes systems running a release of CICS for which that view is not available, those systems are not included in the view. When you issue a view command and your CICSplex consists solely of systems running a release of CICS that is not available, the following message is displayed:

   BBMXBD15I    There is no data that satisfies your request.

When you issue an action command or overtype a field that is not available for the release of CICS on which your CICS system is running, the following message is displayed:

   EYUEIO596E   Action 'action name' for 'sysname' not supported for
                this release of CICS

where:

action name
is the action command or the field name of the overtype you attempted.
sysname
is the CICS system for which you made the attempt.
