CICSplex Transaction Application Program attribute group

The CICSplex Transaction Application Program attributes report detailed information about the application program that issued the current or last EXEC CICS command request. Use the CICSplex Transaction Application Programs attributes to identify a looping transaction, to see the attributes of the currently running program, for example, the length, or to find the location of items in storage pertinent to the program such as its save area or return address.

Addressing Mode Is the AMODE of the application program at the time the CICS EXEC interface program was invoked.

CEDF Allowed Indicates whether or not the execution diagnostic facility (EDF) initiation and termination screens are displayed.

CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.

Commarea Address Is the address of the communication area associated with this transaction.

EI Structure Address Is the address of the EXEC Interface system Structure (EIS) created by CICS.

EI User Structure Address Is the address of the EXEC Interface User Structure (EIUS) created by CICS.

EIB Address Is the address of the EXEC Interface Block (EIB).

Execution Key Indicates the execution key of the application program at the time the CICS EXEC interface program was invoked.

Origin Node Is the combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.

When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.

Program Length Is the length of the application program that issued the EXEC CICS command.

Program Mask Is the application program's mask at the time the CICS EXEC interface program was invoked.

Program Name Is the name of the application program that issued the EXEC CICS command.

Program Offset Indicates the hexadecimal offset within the program whence the EXEC CICS command was issued.

Program Return Address Is the application program's return address or register 14 based on the program's savearea address.

Program Save Area Address Is the application program's register savearea address at the time the EXEC CICS command was issued.

Resource Manager ID Is the resource manager ID (EIDRMID).

System ID Indicates the four character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters, and case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.

Task Number Is the number sequentially assigned by CICS to uniquely identify each task.

Transaction ID Is the four character name of the transaction.
