Using CFA from a CICS® terminal
To use the CFA transaction from a CICS® terminal, simply enter CFA. You can optionally pass a command parameter as described in Using CFA from an MVS console. The initial display is similar to the following:
Fault Analyzer Control Transaction
Options: I=Install U=Uninstall

IDITRACE OFF DeferredReport ON
PF1=Help PF3=Exit PF4=Opts PF5=Clear FND Area PF9=IVP PF11=TRACE ENTER=Update
Initially, the display shows the current status of the CICS® Fault Analyzer exit points, plus details of any active and waiting Fault Analyzer tasks. By entering an I or U (for Install or Uninstall) next to a specific exit point, its status can be changed accordingly. If there is an active analysis task (as shown in the example above), then a CICS® TASK FORCEPURGE can be issued for that task by entering an F in the input field next to the active task details. This function is only possible if CICS® transaction isolation is INACTIVE, or if ACTIVE, that the IDIXFA program is defined to have an EXECKEY of CICS®.
PF9 can be used to display a list of IVP tests. For details, see Verifying Fault Analyzer customization under CICS.
The PF11 function is described in IDITRACE under CICS.
For help information about a specific CICS® exit, press PF1 on the main panel with the cursor on an exit selection field.
