Additional BMC AMI Ops Automation for CICS functions
This section lists additional
BMC AMI Ops Automation
functions that become available when you establish communications between the BBI-SS PAS and IBM CICS region.
After you have implemented BBI-SS PAS to CICS communication, you can:
- Use the BMC AMI Ops Automation Rule Processor to capture messages from the CICS transient data queue
- Issue the C and P line commands from the STATUS application’s TASK display
- Issue the CHAP (Change Task Priority) line command from the STATUS application’s TASK display
- Use the BROADCAST application from the CICS Operator Workstation in the BBI-TS
- Use the CICS dependent IMFEXEC CICS commands from an EXEC
The CICS dependent IMFEXEC CICS commands are as follows:
Command | Description |
|---|---|
ACQUIRE TERMINAL | Acquire a VTAM-supported terminal. |
ALLOC | Allocate a data set to a CICS region. |
CEMT | Issue a CICS master terminal command. |
CHAP | Change a task’s priority in a CICS region. |
CLOSE | Close a file in a CICS region. |
DISABLE | Disable a CICS resource. |
DROP | Decrease the use count of a CICS program. |
DUMPDB | Prepare a database for dumping. |
ENABLE | Make a CICS resource available for use. |
FREE | Deallocate a data set to a CICS region. |
INSERVE | Place a CICS resource in service. |
KILL TASK (PURGE, FORCEPURGE) | Terminate a task in a CICS region by task number. |
KILL TERM | Terminate a task in a CICS region by term ID. |
LOAD | Load a program in a CICS region. |
NEWCOPY | Load a new version of a program in a CICS region. |
OPEN | Open a file in a CICS region. |
OUTSERVE | Place a CICS resource out of service. |
PURGE | Purge a resource in a CICS region. |
RECOVERYDB | Prepare a database for recovery. |
RELEASE TERMINAL | Release a VTAM-supported terminal. |
STARTDB | Start a database. |
STOPDB | Stop a database. |
However, if you choose not to implement BBI-SS PAS to CICS communication, you can still use BMC AMI Ops Automation to:
- Use the STATUS application from the CICS Operator Workstation in the BBI-TS
- Issue the K, D, and F line commands from the STATUS application’s TASK display
- Use the CICS independent IMFEXEC CICS commands from an EXEC
The CICS independent IMFEXEC commands are as follows:
Command | Description |
|---|---|
ALLOC (LOCAL only) | Allocate a data set to the BBI-SS PAS. |
ALTER | Change CICS task related throttles. |
ALTERVS | Change virtual storage in the CICS region. |
FREE (LOCAL only) | Deallocate a data set from the BBI-SS PAS. |
KILL TASK (KILL, WITH DUMP, FORCE | Terminate a task in a CICS region by task number. |
QUERY | Invoke a BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS service. |
SPURGE | Change the spurge value for CICS transactions. |
