How to use logical volumes (instead of file volumes) for SFS server in Linux
From TXSeries 8.1, by default file volumes are created for SFS and PPCGWY servers. For achieving the better performance use logical volumes instead of file volumes. The following example demonstrates creating the SFS server using logical volumes. Similar steps can be followed to create PPCGWY server with logical volumes as well. Follow these steps for creating SFS server using logical volumes on Linux platform. 1. Create the logical volumes using the following commands with required size. # lvcreate -L 256M -n lv_sfs02_data... [More]

Reuse all your business logic in Java EJB beans through simple calls from TXSeries
Have you wondered if you can exploit the business logic residing as session bean in JEE server (such as Liberty) from the applications in COBOL or C in TXSeries? TXSeries 9.1 delivers it right on target. TXSeries region can call EJB session bean by using EXEC CICS LINK from your C and COBOL application. You can even do the other way by calling CICS application from EJB too. Interesting? If you are interested in reading more about the functionality, see here:... [More]

Why my COBOL application files are locked and unable to refresh on windows?
When ever Micro focus Visual COBOL applications are executed on Windows platform, the applications are loaded to the cache maintained by COBOL in CICSAS process. The program remains in cache for providing better performance. If user wanted to update the application logic and recompile the applications, the user may NOT be able to update the application library files (.cbmfnt files) as these application library files are loaded in cache and handles are opened for those files by the CICSAS process. For development environment customer can... [More]

How to create SFS server and PPC Gateway servers with predefined volume sizes?
While creating SFS server using cicscp command, two volumes are created. One volume (log volume) for storing the log information and another volume (data volume) for storing the user data. The user data can be either VSAM emulated files, Temporary Storage queues or Transient data queues. If user creates the SFS server with cicscp command, log volume is created with 32 MB size and data volume is created with 32 MB size. However, user can increase these volume sizes based in their requirements by setting CICS_SFS_LOG_SIZE (For Log volume) and... [More]

Automatic collection of TXSeries runtime logs during abnormal termination of region
When TXSeries runtime detects an unrecoverable error condition while executing a transaction or during self consistency check, then TXSeries CICS runtime abnormally terminates the region with an U-ABEND. Few examples of U abends are like U4803, U5655, U2356 etc. When ever an U abend occurs in the TXSeries runtime, the CICS runtime will collect the all necessary logs automatically and saves the logs under /var/cics_servers/cics_service/<REGION NAME> directory. If region goes down multiple... [More]

Automatically acquire your IPIC remote connection during region startup in TXSeries v8
You can write an application using CONNECTION apis and define the same as the startup application in the region. A rough sample application to try, modify and use is provided below. #define ACQ_STATUS_ACQUIRED 69 #define ACQ_STATUS_NOT_ACQUIRED 70 #define CONNECTION_DEF "CD01" /* change based on your connection definition */ int main() { long ACQStatus = 0; /* Status */ static short RESP1=0; /* RESPs */ static short RESP2=0; /* RESPs */ char sysID[4];...

A quick way to know the ports used by TXSeries region without lsof command
You want to quickly identify the listener ports consumed by CICS region processes if you don’t have lsof installed in your server. You can use “netstat -Aan” combined with the “rmsock” command in AIX explained in below script. #!/usr/bin/ksh netstat -Aan | grep LISTEN | awk '{print $1 " " $5}' | while read pcbs port; do out=`rmsock $pcbs tcpcb | grep cics ` if [ -n "$out" ]; then...
