Converting HTTP headers from LOCALCCSID to IBM-37 encoding

To track CICS web services calls when using LOCALCCSID (CICS SIP) with an encoding different from IBM-37 in your CICS region, you need to edit the AGMSYSIN parameter dataset to convert the HTTP headers from LOCALCCSID to IBM-37 encoding.

About this task

With APAR OA66097, CICS web services transaction monitoring now supports LOCALCCSID configured with a valid CCSID other than IBM-037 encoding. To enable the transaction monitoring, follow the procedure below.

Procedure

Modify the AGMSYSIN parameter data set, which is used for configuring CICS TS Data Producer, with the new TYPE=C parameter as shown below:
Option Description
TYPE=C,CONVERTHTTPHDR=YES Convert HTTP headers from LOCALCCSID to IBM-37
TYPE=C,CONVERTHTTPHDR=NO No HTTP headers conversion of LOCALCCSID encoding (Default)
