CICS Dump Management—Parmlib Member CICSDMPM

You can write a set of messages to the CICS job log whenever a transaction abends. The new abend notification option provides the ability to specify the level of detail to provide. Specify the level of detail by transaction ID.

New notification option:

• AbNotify - The abend notify data field specifies whether to write a message to the job log whenever a CICS transaction abends.

  When an abend occurs, an attempt is made to match the abending transaction to an entry in this table. If a match is found, the Abend Notify method determines the method to write the messages. If a match is not found, the default configuration option is used. The ABEND-NOTIFICATION parameter in the parmlib member CICSOPTS specifies the default.

  Valid values are:

  • NONE, NO - No message is written.

    • Transaction ID
    • Task number
    • Abend code
