Creating your own program exclude, transaction exclude, command exclude, and resource compression list

You can use program exclude lists, transaction exclude lists, command exclude lists, and resource compression list to limit the volume of information collected by the Collector. In this section the term, Collector, refers to the Affinity and Dependency collector functions but for command exclude list the term, Collector, refers only to the Dependency collector functions.

For details of how to specify command flow exclude information, see Managing the Command Flow collection using transaction CINC.

A program exclude list contains a list of program-name prefixes; the Collector does not collect data for any program that has the name beginning with one of the prefixes. Similarly, a transaction exclude list contains a list of transaction-name prefixes; the Collector does not collect data for any transaction that has a name beginning with one of the prefixes. Similarly, a command exclude list contains a list of CICS command codes and groups of command codes. The Collector does not collect data for any command or any command from the command group.

For details of how to specify which exclude lists the Collector is to use, see Specifying region-specific options: General.
