CICS Abend

User Action

When CICS abends, use the following procedures to synchronize all the updates to CA Datacom/DB, VSAM, and any other file access.

  1. Execute the COMM OPTION=STATUS function of the CA Datacom/DB Utility (DBUTLTY) to notify the MUF that CICS has abended. The MUF then frees the threads used by CICS and accomplishes the transaction backout for the in-flight task in CICS. This must be the batch execution and not from the console to be effective.
  2. Bring up CICS by running Emergency Restart.

System Action

During the emergency restart process, CICS automatically accomplishes the transaction backout process for all the tasks in-flight when the abend occurred.

XRF

CA Datacom CICS Services runs in a XRF environment but does not reestablish CONNECT-MUF conditions from the previous CICS.
