The predefined Interval Control Elements (ICE) workspace contains the
Interval control elements (ICE) represent tasks that CICS is scheduled to start after a specified time interval or at a certain time of day. Upon expiration of this interval, CICS starts the task or creates an AID, pending the availability of some resource.
The ICE component allows you to identify scheduled work in the system.
Through the ICE panels you can analyze ICE problems, display a summary list of all ICEs in the system, display detailed information about a specific ICE, or request that an ICE be removed from the system.
You can terminate ICEs in your CICS region when they accumulate because of a printer, terminal, or remote connection error. You can do this by using the Take Action view to purge an ICE or by using the CEKL transaction. Alternatively you can select one of the definitions from the table view, right-click, and a pop-up window lists all the options that show in the Take Action window.
