From any view where a transaction or program is shown in the CICS® IA plug-in, you can explore resources further to see which resources the transaction is using and in which regions.
Use the menu option Uses Resources to show the regions in which the program or transaction resource is being used. You can specify whether you want to analyze use for a specific region, or for all regions.
The information about the selected resource and region populates the Uses view. When you run theUses Resources > All Regions command, all of the resources are displayed that are used by this program in addition to all of the programs that were loaded from it. The lower left tree shows the resources that were in use by the originating program, and also by the others. When you click the resource the lower right table displays what programs are using it, and the originating program might not be in this list.
The program or transaction uses are shown in the Resources used pane organized into folders by type.
You
can use the Group by Verb button to sort the information in the Resources Used pane.
You can sort the results by resource (by default), so each resource node contains all the verbs that were executed against it:
The run hierarchy for the current program or transaction starts is shown in the bottom pane.
When you select a resource, the By Resource pane is populated with information about the programs and transactions that use the resource.
When a resource is selected, you can
select the points in the run hierarchy where the resource is used,
using the up and down
arrow buttons.
When you select a program in the Resources Used pane, the hierarchy shows the first resource in the tree that uses the program.
If you navigate down the tree using the arrow buttons, you reach the next resource that uses the same program.
Creating an Event Processing Capture Specification
You can use the Uses Resources information to create a capture specification to be used with Event Processing:
Events associated with EXEC CICS commands
Events associated with EXEC CICS commands are displayed as child nodes of the command in the view. These child nodes are the events that are triggered against a command. The program used by this event is displayed in the bottom section of the Uses view.
