Allocating and Formatting Abend-AID for CICS shared directories and transaction databases

This task is performed during the BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS install procedure. For additional information, see the Abend-AID Installation and Configuration guide.

Creating the BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS shared directory

Use the sample JCL to create the shared directory. ECC SLCXCNTL sample library member CXALLMC contains the sample JCL for creating a BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS shared directory.

Creating the BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS transaction database

You must create the shared directory before proceeding to this step. Use one of the following two sets of sample JCL to create each BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS database as needed:

VSAM BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS Database: ECC SLCXCNTL sample library member CXALLVSD contains sample JCL for creating a BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS VSAM transaction database. To allocate and create a database that spans multi-volumes, use member CXDCRTDB. To create an BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS shared directory in the same job, use member CXDCRTSD.

Sequential BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS Database: ECC SLCXCNTL sample library member CXALLBSD contains sample JCL for creating a BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID for CICS sequential transaction database.
