This section describes some optional tasks that you might
be required to be perform.
Creating your own program exclude, transaction exclude, and resource prefix lists
You can use program exclude lists, transaction exclude
lists, and resource prefix list to limit the volume of information
collected by the Collector. In this section the term, Collector, refers
to the Affinity and Dependency collector functions. The User Command
Flow collector function does not reference the exclude lists.
Grouping transactions and programs into applications
In CICS IA V3.2
you could group transactions, programs, or both to from a notional
"application". In CICS IA V5.1
you can still use these applications definitions and the utilities
shipped to provide this are available.
CICS IA Natural support
With CICS IA, you
can gather CICS resource information
for COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler language programs called from within
a Software AG Natural program.
Restarting your CICS regions
Restart each CICS region
in which CICS IA is
to run, using a CICS startup
job modified for CICS IA support.
CICS IA supplied modules required in the MVS linklist
If you use the MVS™ interactive
problem control system (IPCS) to format and analyze CICS system dumps, you can use the CICS IA system
dump formatting routines, CIUIADUF and CIUICDUF,
to format the CICS IA collector
data areas.
