  5. Provide a name for the target group definition, at least one target (CICS region), and any options and thresholds (kill and warning) for transactions that run in the target.It is optional to specify warning thresholds. The warning thresholds are only used when you specify YES in the Warning Thresh option and you specify a corresponding killing thresholds. If not specified, 0 are the defaults so no warning messages are issued even if Warning Thresh is set to YES.

    Warning

    Note

    Use the Warn option to test the kill thresholds without killing the task. Only use the Warning Thresh option if you want both kill and warning thresholds for the tasks. See the MainView for CICS Customization Guide for more information about the dual thresholds.

    Target names can contain wildcards and be separated by commas. See the online Help for more information and valid option and threshold values.

  6. Press PF3 to save your changes and return to the CMRTTHR view.

    Success

    Tip

    To build a target group from a previously saved target group definition, type ADD in the CMD field next to the definition that you want to use as a model and then press Enter.

    The Task Kill Table Target Group Add dialog is displayed, populated with the values from the model.
