Managing APPC connections

You can use the master terminal transaction, CEMT, to manage APPC connections. It shows how the action of the CEMT commands is affected by the way the connections have been defined to CICS®.

The commands are described under the headings:
  • Acquiring the connection
  • Controlling and monitoring sessions on the connection
  • Releasing the connection.
The commands used to achieve these actions are:
  • CEMT SET CONNECTION ACQUIRED|RELEASED
  • CEMT SET MODENAME AVAILABLE|ACQUIRED|CLOSED

In the CICS Explorer, the ISC/MRO connections operations view provides a functional equivalent to the SET CONNECTION command.

Detailed formats and options of CEMT commands are given in CEMT SET CONNECTION.

The information is mainly about parallel-sessions connections between CICS regions.
