Start CA InterTest in Your CICS Region

CA InterTest for CICS is generally started once a day. At many sites, CA InterTest automatically starts during CICS initialization. Additionally, CA InterTest automatically starts whenever you complete a monitoring‑related request from the Monitoring Menus or Submenus (Option 2 on the Primary Option Menu).

To start CA InterTest for CICS or to verify that CA InterTest for CICS is up and running, sign on to CICS and issue the following command on a Clear screen:

CNTL=START

CA InterTest for CICS responds with a message stating either that it has successfully started or that it is already active.

Note: If CICS responds with a message stating that CNTL is an invalid transaction, the systems programmer who installed CA InterTest for CICS probably changed the name of the CNTL transaction. Find out the new transaction ID and try again.
