You can use CICS® DA to start a CICS region. When the region is initializing, you can use the System Log and z/OS® Jobs views to monitor the progress.
Before you can start a CICS region, you must have an active CICS DA connection. You must also have a copy of the system model on your local computer. The CICS region that you want to start must be in the model, and have a defined, and saved, start policy.
This task starts a CICS region.
The CICS region start command is issued. CICS DA does not wait for a response or monitor the progress of the CICS region start. You must review the spool output for the CICS region job to check for errors or messages. You can refresh the status in CICS DA to show the latest status for the CICS region. For more information about refreshing the model element status, see the related links.
If Link to Selection is selected in the z/OS Jobs view, the job data sets are shown in the view. You can also view the progress in the System Log view.
