Invoking TSSTRACK Using CICS

TSSTRACK should be used with caution under CICS. TSSTRACK is not designed for use in CICS by more than one user simultaneously.

Do not use TSSTRACK for historical purposes under CICS. For the most predictable results with TSSTRACK set the AUDIT and AUDIT2 files FCT entries to CLOSED and DISABLED prior to execution of TSSTRACK. The current TSS audit/tracking file is dynamically allocated by TSSTRACK when invoked for this purpose.

There is no new transaction or program required to invoke TSSTRACK in CICS, because TSSTRACK is invoked from within the TSS command/transaction. If you have already installed the TSS command/transaction (for instance using SAMPJCL(TSSCSD)), then TSSTRACK has already been installed.

TSSTRACK can be invoked in two modes:

Continuous Mode

In this mode, TSSTRACK is invoked for a fixed time period. TSSTRACK refreshes its output automatically without input from the terminal operator. For example:

TSS TRACK=ON,FOR=(#minutes)

Interactive Mode

In this mode, TSS TRACK=ON is invoked without the FOR operand. Operation options and session termination are based on terminal input.

Note: Program function and attention keys operate differently in CICS than they do in TSO.
