Purging CICS tasks

If you are using OMEGAMON for CICS, you can navigate to the Transaction Analysis workspace view and purge (including force purge) one or more CICS tasks.

From the Navigator, open a CICS region, then select Transaction Analysis. A list of tasks appears in the workspace view.

Using Purge selected tasks

You can select one or more tasks, right-click, then choose Purge selected task(s). A confirmation box will appear, from which you can proceed with the purge (PURGE TASK) and, optionally, specify that you want to perform a force purge. Keep in mind that forcing the purge will purge the tasks even if data integrity cannot be maintained. Normally, it's best to try a PURGE, which will only purge if data integrity can be maintained, before performing a force purge.

Using Take Action to purge tasks

You can also use Take Action to purge CICS tasks. From Transaction Analysis, select a task (Take Action can only be used with one task), right-click, then choose Take Action. The Take Action panel will appear; in the Action to execute field, select Purge Task.
