10.1.10 Change Retention Period of the CICCDC File


The CICS Dictionary File (CICCDC) contains the data
dictionary records that are required by the CICS Analyzer to
input CMF data.  It exists at the DETAIL timespan in cycle 01
only.  As new data dictionary records are encountered during
input, the latest copy is kept in storage and output to the
CICCDC file at end of input processing.  The number of days
that the data dictionary records are kept in the CICCDC file
is dependent upon a threshold value that you specify.

To change the retention period of the dictionary records in
the CICCDC01 file, simply change the CICCDCEX statement in
prefix.MICS.PARMS(CICTHRSH).  No generations are required
afterwards, as this member is input during the daily
processing.

See Section 7.3.8 of this guide for more information on CICS
processing thresholds.
