This section describes what you need to do before you can
use CICS® IA.
It contains:
Data sets used during this configuration
The installation process for CICS IA is
described in the Program Directory that is distributed with
the product. The size of the tar file that is used to install CICS IA is 185 MB.
Running the installation customization program
The installation customization program helps you to customize
the CICS IA sample jobs, clists,
and SQL definitions. It creates customized installation jobs in which
the names of system entities, such as the high-level qualifier (hlq)
of the CICS IA data
sets, are set to specified values to suit your local environment.
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.
Defining resources to CICS
Jobs and resource definitions are supplied to
define CICS IA resources
for all CICS releases.
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.
Tailoring your CICS startup job
To enable CICS IA to
run in your CICS region, do
the following when setting up your CICS startup
job:
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.
