The predefined Interval Control Elements (ICE) workspace allows you to identify scheduled work in your system. This workspace allows you to analyze ICE problems, displays a summary list of all ICEs in the system, displays detailed information about a specific ICE, and allows you to request that an ICE address be removed from the system.
The predefined Interval Control Elements (ICE) workspace contains the following views:
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.
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 popup window lists all the options that show in the Take Action window.
