CICSPlex SM transaction abend thresholds

You can use CICSPlex® SM to automatically route work away from regions that are experiencing high transaction abend rates.

In a CICSplex where multiple regions can run each transaction, you can use CICSPlex SM to automatically route work away from regions that are experiencing high transaction abend rates. For example, an AOR whose Db2® subsystem is abended. Any Db2 transactions that are routed to that AOR abend until DB2® is available again.

In situations like this, the CICSPlex SM ABENDTHRESH and ABENDCRIT parameters can be used to route transactions away from a region where they are likely to fail. For more information about these parameters, see Administering CICSPlex SM.
