sys.zOS.CICSRegion
A CICS® region is an address space that runs the CICS Transaction Server program.

| VersionString | The version and release of the CICS program. | 6.1 |
| SYSIDNT | CICS System Identification | CIC1 |
| GRName | CICS Generic Resource Name | CICSH### |
| SIT |
CICS System Initialization Table parameters. The list is in a table format with two columns: ParameterName and ParameterValue. |
SITParameter Value |
| SITOverrides |
CICS System Initialization Table Override parameters. The list is in a table format with two columns: ParameterName and ParameterValue. |
SITParameter Value |
| TransactionsChecksum | Checksum of all transaction defined to the CICSRegion. | |
| ProgramsChecksum | Checksum of all programs defined to the CICSRegion | |
| FilesChecksum | Checksum of all programs defined to the CICSRegion. |
Requirements for discovery
- CICS Region book has all attributes and all relationships except AddressSpaces.
- ZOSTASK book has naming rules and relationships to AddressSpaces.
- Filtering enabled (which is the default). Note that following Attribute level filters are disabled by default since they can be large at some sites. The customer needs to consciously choose to discover these: Transactions, Programs.
- The sys.zOS.CICSRegion class is only discovered when the DLA runs in APF authorized mode.
