Modifying CICS resource entries

CICS resource entries are used to control the following Abend-AID for CICS functions:

  • Transaction dump interface, which enables the capturing of abend information for transaction dumps.
  • Region dump interface, which enables gathering the information necessary to produce the Program Change Summary screen for CICS region dumps. See Using-supplied-Abend-AID-for-CICS-transactions for information about manually starting the region dump interface.

Note

  • The region dump interface is not required to capture region dumps. It is required only to capture information about recently changed programs in the DFHRPL concatenation. If this list is captured, you can view it through the Abend-AID for CICS region dump display screens. Entering the CHANGES fast-path command displays the Program Change Summary.
  • Capturing the program change summary information adds a small amount of overhead to the region dump capture process. Usually this amount is insignificant, although some customers have experienced a more severe performance impact. Performance is more degraded if you use the Binder. If you see any performance degradation at dump capture time, you can turn off the region dump interface while still leaving the transaction dump interface active.
  • Viewing access from CICS.
  • Abend-AID for CICS demonstration transactions.

Adding Abend-AID for CICS resource entries using resource definition online (RDO) or the system definition file (CSD) utility DFHCSDUP is described in Using Resource Definition Online or the CSD Utility DFHCSDUP.

Note

 You cannot program autoinstall the Abend-AID for CICS resource entries.
