Utilities

The OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) utility functions enable you to issue MVS console, CICS® main terminal, and common interface commands.

The utilities also include debugging options which take a snapshot of your CICS region, print OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) debugging panels, verify key OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) components, and display current maintenance levels. In addition, there are several options that enable you to view, scan, or modify various types of storage: OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) common interface, operating system common area, CICS, and dataspaces.

The options that issue commands, or list or modify storage, include statements that must be preceded by a hyphen (-). When the statement executes, the hyphen changes to >, making the statement a comment, and a message is returned. To reissue the statement, you must uncomment it. Instead of a hyphen, you may precede these statements with <. In this case, a message is returned but the statement remains, so that you can merely press Enter to reissue it.
