CICS Users in Continuous Mode

To invoke TSSTRACK in continuous mode under CICS for a period of “hh” hours and “mm” minutes, enter:

TSS TRACK=ON,FOR(hh:mm)

To designate only a specified number of minutes for the FOR keyword, omit the colon. For example, if you only want to run TSSTRACK for 15 minutes you would enter:

TSS TRACK=ON,FOR(15)

This command invokes TSSTRACK continuously for 15 minutes and refreshes the display automatically as data becomes available. The data display continues for the specified 15-minute time interval or until interrupted with BREAK/ATTENTION or PA1.

When additional options are required, invoke TSSTRACK without options. The utility will prompt tracking criteria.

In continuous mode, TSSTRACK takes over the terminal for the time specified when TSSTRACK was invoked. Once the Enter key is pressed, security‑related information is continuously displayed. The INTERVAL selection criterion will specify how frequently the Audit/Tracking File is to be checked for new events. In order to interrupt TSSTRACK in this mode, or stop it before the specified time has expired, enter the following from another terminal:

TSS TRACK=OFF,TERM=(ALL|terminal,...)

This allows the user to stop processing TSSTRACK from all terminals, or only specified terminals. After an interrupt, the option entry screen is displayed. You can enter new options for additional display or terminate the session with END.
