CICS Exit Considerations

The DevTest CICS Agent uses the following CICS exit points:

• XPCREQ (before CICS LINK exit)
• XPCREQC (after CICS LINK exit)
• XEIIN (before CICS Command exit)
• XEIOUT (after CICS Command exit)
• XPCABND (Transaction ABEND)

XPCREQ and XPCREQC are used for CICS LINK virtualization.

XEIIN and XEIOUT are used for CICS Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) virtualization.

XPCABND (and the other exits) is used for CA Continuous Application Insight.

XPCREQ and XPCREQC are required. If you do not require DTP virtualization or CAI, you can remove XEIIN and XEIOUT. To remove them, delete ITKOXEIN and ITKOXEIO from the load library (or rename them).

If you do not require CAI, you can remove XPCABND. To remove it, delete ITKOTABN from the load library (or rename it).
