Issue/Introduction

We are trying to identify if Datacom Total/T is being used in our system. We would like to know how to use the Autoinfo report or to determine the usage. 

Environment

Component : CA DATACOM TOTAL TRANSPARENCY

Resolution

There should be a MUF Startup Option - DATACOM TOTALT

To check if DBTT is active and if there is any activity, one should:

  • Look in the MUF log and check for DBID 14
  • The CXX report for DBID 14 showed having records in multiple tables. Client sent the full CICS log

  • Total Transparency got activated : 17:55:30.2 DB: START-UP    DT22011I - TRANSPARENCY ACTIVATED  
    Warning messages are most likely for Total files that were not moved to Total Transparency

    A lot of warning messages for Total files that could not be found anymore in an open URT.  Total files that got removed??

    17:55:30.1 DB: START-UP    DT22018W - DB05 F01 FILE CAN NOT BE ACCESSED, CHECK FILE TABLE                 
    17:55:30.1 DB: START-UP    DT22018W - DB05 F02 FILE CAN NOT BE ACCESSED, CHECK FILE TABLE                 
    17:55:30.1 DB: START-UP    DT22018W - DB05 FDR FILE CAN NOT BE ACCESSED, CHECK FILE TABLE

  • All messages DT22020I show the total files that are under Total Transparency defined in Datacom  

    DT22020I - TABLE PAM IS A NULL MASTER FILE  

    DT22020I - TABLE WLX IS A NULL MASTER FILE 
    All Null Master file tables in CICS log were : Tables: WHX, WLX, PAM, DSN, APK

  • Lastly, to make sure that if the tables are being accessed. 

    In CICS, issue DBOC INQ=???.tbl-name.??? for each of those 5 tables and send over that information along with another AUTOINFO report for the PRODMUF/PRODCXX
