CICS Message Filters

With CICS support, a region receives CICS messages by using a PPI connection. The region then processes these messages for use by the ResourceView and EventView features.

A CICS message filter is a statement that can limit the message flow by using the following criteria:

You must have a filter named DEFAULT (which is the supplied default), but you can customize its criteria. You can define other filters to customize the filtering requirements.

When you start a region that supports CICS resources, the region applies the default filter to the CICS message flow.

Important! This product supplies templates that help you create definitions of CICS resources so that those resources can be managed. These templates use a set of messages to detect the status of the managed resources. Review those messages to help ensure that your filters do not block them.
