Monitoring remote transactions

In a multiregion operation (MRO) or an intersystem communication (ISC) environment (APPC only), you can use CEDF (in single screen mode only) for transactions that are defined in the terminal owning region (TOR) as remote. CICS automatically notifies the application owning region (AOR) that the transaction is to be run in execution diagnostic facility (EDF) mode.

About this task

Sending EDF information over an IPIC connection is supported between CICS® TS 5.1 or later regions/ For CICS TS 4.2 and earlier releases, when using an IPIC connection, use CEDX in the remote region for transactions that are defined in the terminal owning region (TOR) as remote.

Procedure

When the remote application ends, if your reply is YES, the terminal remains in EDF mode as usual. However, CICS deletes all the associated temporary storage queues, and none of the previous EDF screens or options is saved; you must type these again for the next transaction. Responding NO at the termination screen ends the EDF session in all participating regions.
