CMAN - the flow management transaction

Use the CMAN transaction to manage your deployed service flows. You can install new service flows, enable and disable installed service flows, and delete service flows from the service flow repository file. You can also use this transaction to view and change the options for a particular service flow, such as turning vector logging on and off.

To start the CMAN transaction, you can do one of the following:

  • Enter CMAN on the command line of your display. The transaction lists, in alphabetical order, all the deployed service flows that are defined in the DFHMAASF service flow repository file. CMAN also displays the status of each service flow and the number of times it has been invoked since the CICS region started up.
  • Enter CMAN on the command line of your display, followed by the required action and service flow:
    CMAN DISABLE FLOW(INQUIRE1)

If you enter CMAN on the command line of your display, the main screen displays:
