Delete a CICS Region from Processing

Products

• MICS Resource Management

Issue/Introduction

Is there a DROP equivalent to FORCE/SELECT for CICS regions? We have a sysid with a large number of regions and it seems that one region had excessive and possibly bad records that were too many for the DAILY to process.  

Environment

Release:
Component: MCIC

Resolution

We provide a checklist for Adding or Deleting a CICS Region from MICS processing.

Additional options include using the USRSCSW exit in #CICEXIT for identifying by CICSID
or running a job to preprocess the input to drop the offending region.

USRSCSW Exit

MACRO _USRSCSW 
IF CICSID EQ "xxxx" THEN SKIP_REC=ONE; 


Job to preprocess the input data

Note.  Change CICSxxxx to your region

Additional Information

Below is a job you can run that will tell you how many records are on the input per CICS region.
