Task interface element

A Task interface element (TIE) represents a CICS® task that issued at least one call to the CICS sockets API. You can locate TIEs in a dump of the CICS region by issuing the IPCS VERBX CICSxxx 'UEH=3' command. CICSxxx is the name of the VERBEXIT used to format a CICS TS dump and is specific to the release of CICS TS that produced the dump. After the CICSxxx VERBEXIT returns, then search for EZACIC01.TIE. The CICSxxx EZACIC01 prefix identifies it as a TIE for CICS sockets. For more information about the CICS TS VERBEXITs, see the CICS information at http://www-01.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/library/.

The IPCS VERBX CICSxxx 'UEH=3' command output shows a CICS image of the TIE. The TCP/IP TIE is embedded within the CICS image of the TIE and starts at offset +X'80'.

The IPCS VERBX CICSxxx'UEH=3' command output contains TIEs for other interfaces as well.
