Analyzing resource interactions by using the CICS IA plug-in

You can link directly from a Transaction ID in the CICS® PA plug-in for the CICS Explorer® to CICS Interdependency Analyzer (CICS IA) to analyze the relationship between individual Transaction IDs and other resources.

Before you begin

The CICS IA plug-in must be installed and you must have an active CICS IA system connection. See Configuring a CICS IA system connection.

Procedure

  1. In the CICS PA plug-in, locate the transaction ID for which you want to view relationships. You can link from a sheet view or any of the graphical views.
  2. Right-click the Transaction ID and click Uses resources in the menu.

Results

The Uses view in the CICS IA perspective is displayed and shows the resources used by the transaction ID and where and how they are used.
