Transaction dump capture address space advanced configuration
An Abend-AID for CICS transaction dump capture address space (TDCAS) is an MVS address space that manages transaction dump capture processing. The TDCAS must be active to take Abend-AID for CICS transaction dumps. We recommend that you run the TDCAS as a started task that is always available.
You should have already started the transaction dump capture address space (TDCAS) to run with the supplied defaults as described in the Abend-AID Installation and Configuration Guide. Use the information in this section to make changes to better meet your site’s requirements.
Your site must have at least one Abend-AID for CICS transaction dump capture address space per MVS image on which transaction dumps are to be captured. You can run multiple TDCASs on a single MVS image, but doing so should not be necessary. You must repeat the steps in this section for each TDCAS you want to create. Site-configuration-examples provides examples of Abend-AID for CICS site configurations.
