  1. XINFO The IT Information System CICS Scanner HORIZONT Software for Datacenters Garmischer Str. 8 D- 80339 München Tel ++49(0)89 / 540 162 - 0www.horizont-it.com

  2. XINFO and CICS XINFO‘s CICS scanner analyzes the CSD file: • Complete overview about all CSD data • Complete Cross Reference, e.g. • Batch and CICS • COBOL and CICS • PL/1 and CICS

  3. Why analyzing the CSD file? • "Normal" IT personal like production planners have no detailed knowledge about internal structures of CICS. • "Normal" IT personal like operators have no access to CICS data • A standard "Cross Reference" for CICS does not exist • Typical questions like "which CICS programs are currently using file A.B.C" cannot be answered easily

  4. XINFO and CICS The Structure of XINFO's CICS Implementation: List Group 1 Group n Transaction 1 Transaction n Program 1 MAPSET Program n FILE (DD and DSN) Transient data Queue

  5. XINFO and CICS Some examples: • Which programs belong to which transactions? • Which programs are running below the 16M line? • Which programs are running in a remote CICS? • Which files are password protected? • Which files are still BDAM? • Which programs use key=CICS? • Which "TDQUEUE" is used in a remote CICS? • Which DB2 subsystems are used? • Which DB2 plans are used? • Which TCP/IP services are using which ports? • ...

  6. CICS - Displays The displays for CICS… (28 predefined queries!)

  7. CICS - transactions Which programs belong to a transaction? 1. Select "Transaction Info" 2. Specify transaction

  8. CICS - transactions These programs belong to transaction AC03 Details

  9. CICS – transactions and programs Use the right mouse to op up the CICS menu, then select "Program Information"

  10. CICS – transactions and programs Detailed lnfo

  11. CICS – programs Which PL1 or COBOL programs are running below the 16M line? 1. Select "Program Info" 2. Scroll down

  12. CICS – programs 3. Specify 99 at "Language" to get more selection fields 4. Specify languages

  13. CICS – programs These programs are running below the line

  14. CICS – files Which files are defined in a remote CICS? 1. Select "Dataset Info" 2. Scroll down

  15. CICS – files 3. Specify NB at "Remote System Name" (not blank)

  16. CICS – files Filenames

  17. The difference Following example illustrates the difference.... Without XINFO With XINFO

  18. How to get CICS information without XINFO An Example:Which CICS files have fixed LRECL ? 1) Type Command CEDA

  19. How to get CICS information without XINFO 2) Specify selection criteria Do you really know that command?

  20. How to get CICS information without XINFO 3) The results are the files in several groups for one CICS. 4) Type View in front the group …..

  21. How to get CICS information without XINFO 5) Here is the first file Description, Now HIT PF11 to got next page…… 6) Now PF11 to see the next page……

  22. How to get CICS information without XINFO 7) Here is the result for one file, But: For the Next file, hit PF11, and so on………… Searching for information without XINFO is difficult and costs time!

  23. How to get CICS information with XINFO And now the same work with XINFO: 1) Select Dataset Info

  24. How to get CICS information with XINFO 2) Type Record Format F

  25. How to get CICS information with XINFO 3) Here are the files with RECFM = F

  26. XINFO The IT Information System Many thanks for your attention HORIZONT Software for Datacenters Garmischer Str. 8 D- 80339 München Tel ++49(0)89 / 540 162 - 0www.horizont-it.com
