Using auto maintenance

The auto maintenance facility provides INIT and TERM functions that completely remove the MainView agents from a running CICS system and re-initialize the MainView agents without affecting the CICS system itself.

The TERM function terminates all active MainView AutoOPERATOR functions and removes the MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS resources in CICS, with the exception of those resources necessary to redefine the discarded resources. The TERM function stores the MainView processing environment in a status record and writes it to a temporary storage queue.
