Issue/Introduction

Using Datacom CICS Services, is there any problem if DBOCPRT is changed from SYSOUT to DUMMY in CICS:

//DBOCPRT  DD DUMMY

 

Environment

Component: Datacom CICS Services

Release: 15.1

Resolution

DBOCPRT is the Message Log file and is the default destination file for logging of DBOC and DBIC commands and output messages. 
If you set this to dummy then there is no log of what commands where issued and when.
Also the output for some commands, like console commands only go to the Message Log file.
It's not recommended DBOCPRT be set to DUMMY.
DBOCPRT can be allocated to a dataset instead of SYSOUT.
See CAB1SAMP member B1CUS02X to allocate the dataset. Also see documentation  section Customization and Post-Installation Steps for Datacom CICS Services for required CICS TD Queue changes.
