Understanding the events that are enabled in your CICS system

You can use CICS Explorer® to browse event bindings and capture specifications. For example, the Event Bindings view shows the bundles that are installed in different regions and whether the bundles are enabled.

Filters can be used in capture specifications to restrict when events are emitted.

As a system programmer, you might want to understand more about any application context or primary predicate filters that are set for a given capture specification. The INQUIRE CAPTURESPEC command has options that return detailed information about the primary predicate and the application context or system context filters for the capture specification. For example, you can use the INQUIRE CAPTURESPEC command to discover all of the capture specifications that include a predicate on a certain program. The INQUIRE CAPDATAPRED, INQUIRE CAPINFOSRCE, and INQUIRE CAPTOPTPRED commands have options that return further detailed information about all the predicates and information sources defined for the same capture specification.
