Event processing problem determination tools

Use these problem determination tools to diagnose the cause of event processing problems.

Statistics utility transaction STAT
You can review event processing and CAPTURESPECs statistics that are relevant to CICS event processing problem determination using the STAT transaction in sample group DFH£STAT.
Level 1 and level 2 trace from CICS event capture 'EC' component
You can determine entry and exit points from the event capture process using level 1 trace. You can determine all the stages of event point filter evaluation and event capture using a level 2 trace.
Formatted dump for EC component
The EVENT BINDING SUMMARY in the EC formatted dump is particularly useful because it lists the details of the CAPTURESPECs.
Main terminal CEMT INQUIRE transaction
You can check the status of event processing, list the installed EVENTBINDINGs and their status, and see the temporary storage queues created by the TSQ EP adapter or by the sample custom EP adapter.
TSQ EP adapter and sample custom EP adapter
The TSQ EP adapter writes CICS event objects to a TS queue in CICS flattened event, common base event, common base event REST, Decision Server Insights Event, and WebSphere Business Event formats; the sample custom EP adapter writes events to a TS queue in a simplified flattened event format. You can use both of these EP adapters during development of event processing applications, or during problem determination, to check the number of events and the contents being captured.
