Creating an event binding file
You create an event binding file in a CICS® bundle project to contain event specifications, their associated capture specifications, the EP adapter used for all events, and options to control the dispatch of events.
About this task
An event can be described in simple words, which should be written by the business manager or analyst who is interested in the event.
- "I want to know whether our marketing campaign is having the expected impact. Over the next month, give me data twice a week on inquiries and sales of our two new models."
- "There is a wave of credit card fraud from a region. Increase the level of checks for the whole range of transactions from the region. Starting Monday, send a record to a dashboard on my workstation of transactions over 1000 dollars from the region."
An event binding contains control data for one or more events. A business manager uses the CICS event binding editor to specify the event at a high level.
You specify the events for this binding in the Event Specifications tab of the Event Binding panel. As a business analyst, you set some values for the event data that you want captured. You repeat this step for each item of data you need during event processing.
