ACCOUNT-ID Specification (CICS Only)

CA Ideal provides the ability to assign different development or production activities to separate user-specified CICS transactions. This allows CICS performance analysis packages or transaction accounting packages to isolate transactions for charge back and resource consumption analysis.

The CA Ideal command SET ENVIRONMENT ACCOUNT-ID establishes the transaction ID under which statistics for the current session is logged.

Each ACCOUNT-ID specified in a SET ENVIRONMENT command must also be defined in CICS as a TRANSACTION invoking program SC00DISP, similar to the CICS TRANSACTION definition for SCFD. In addition, the ACCOUNT-ID can be embedded in an application and can be determined dynamically. IBM standards recommend that transaction IDs not begin with the letter C.
