Welcome
Running the CSECT Scanner
The CICS® IA CSECT Scanner scans load modules for information that can be used to identify the version of each CSECT.
The CIUJCLCS job
To run the CSECT Scanner, you can edit and run the CIUJCLCS job. This job produces a printed report and updates the CIU_PROGRAM_INFO and CIU_CSECT_INFO Db2® tables.

Preface
This information describes the IBM® CICS® Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS®. It explains what the program does and how to set up and run its various components.
What's new in CICS® IA Version 6.3
CICS® IA Version 6.3 maintains broad functionality and provides full support for the new CICS Transaction Server 6.3. Building on previous releases, it includes updates for commands whose threadsafe status has been enhanced in CICS Transaction Server 6.3, enabling more applications to run without switching to QR TCB mode
Overview of the CICS® Interdependency Analyzer
This section gives an overview of the CICS® Interdependency Analyzer (CICS IA), and describes its components.
Getting Started with the CICS® IA plug-in for CICS Explorer®
The CICS® Interdependency Analyzer plug-in for CICS Explorer® provides an Eclipse-based interface to analyze your CICS IA data. It also provides cheat sheets that guide you through the steps required to configure and install CICS IA. It is recommended that you download the CICS IA plug-in and follow the steps in the cheat sheets.
Configuring CICS® IA
This section describes what you need to do before you can use CICS® IA.
Running the Collector
You run the CICS® IA Collector to look for instances of program commands that might cause resource dependencies or transaction affinities.
Updating the Dependency and Affinity database objects
The Dependency database objects contain accumulated data about your applications and the resources that they use. Update the database objects regularly to add new information recorded by the Collector in the VSAM dependency files.
Managing your CICS® IA data
With each new release CICS® IA captures more data. In volatile development environments this data can soon become out of date. If you have out of date data, the CICS IA plug-in might retrieve more data than you need. The presence of unwanted data might impede your analysis and provide confusing results.
The CICS® IA UDB database
CICS® IA provides jobs to unload CICS IA data into CSV files. These files can be used to populate the IBM® supported UDB databases.
Running the Reporter
Running the Program Threadsafe report
The threadsafe report can be run from the CICS IA Explorer plug-in or as a batch job using the sample CIUJTSQ2 that can be found in SCIUSAMP.CICS. The report runs the Db2® stored procedure CIUSPTSR.
Running the Load Module Scanner
The Load Module Scanner scans load modules for instances of program commands that could cause resource dependencies or transaction affinities.
Running the CSECT Scanner
The CICS® IA CSECT Scanner scans load modules for information that can be used to identify the version of each CSECT.
- The CIUJCLCS job
  To run the CSECT Scanner, you can edit and run the CIUJCLCS job. This job produces a printed report and updates the CIU_PROGRAM_INFO and CIU_CSECT_INFO Db2® tables.
- The CIUUDBCS job
  To run the CSECT Scanner, you can edit and run the CIUJCLSS job. This job produces a printed report and creates CSV files.
- Contents of the printed report
  The printed report has two line formats; one for load module information and one for CSECT information.
Running the Builder
The CICS® IA Builder runs as a batch job to build affinity-transaction-group definitions suitable for input to the CICS system management product, CICSPlex SM.
Running the sample Db2® query
This section describes how to run the sample CICS® IA batch query job CIUJSAMP.
Solving problems
This section helps you to isolate and determine the cause of CICS® IA problems.

Messages and codes
This section describes the messages that the Collector, Query interface, Dependency Reporter, Affinities Reporter, Load Module Scanner, CSECT Scanner, and Builder can issue, and the transaction abend codes that the Collector can produce.

The CIUJCLCS job

To run the CSECT Scanner, you can edit and run the CIUJCLCS job. This job produces a printed report and updates the CIU_PROGRAM_INFO and CIU_CSECT_INFO Db2® tables.

This job produces a printed report and updates the CIU_PROGRAM_INFO and CIU_CSECT_INFO Db2® tables.

Before running the CIUJCLCS job, change the following as appropriate:

The JOB accounting parameters
The PARM keyword of the EXEC statement:
```
PARM='[TABLE]'
```
where TABLE specifies that the results of the scan are to be added to the Db2® tables CIU_PROGRAM_INFO and CIU_CSECT_INFO. CSV specifies that the results of the scan are to be written to the CSV files.
The SYS keyword of the PARM keyword of the EXEC statement; specify the name of the Db2® subsystem.
The STEPLIB DD statement; specify the name of the CICS® IA load library where you have installed the CSECT Scanner program, CIUCSS. The default is hlq.SCIULOAD, where hlq is the high-level data set qualifier assigned during installation.
In the concatenation DD statement, specify the name of the Db2® load library. The default is db2hlq.SDSNLOAD, where db2hlq is the high-level data set qualifier assigned to the Db2® subsystem during installation.
The LOADLIB DD statement; specify the name of the load library to be scanned.
The SYSPRINT DD statement; specify the destination for the printed report.
