Creating a report of threadsafe issues

You can create summary or detailed reports of threadsafe issues in HTML format. To create a threadsafe report, you can use a view that shows the region, program, or transaction for which you require a report, or you can use the Report view.

About this task

To generate a report of threadsafe issues for a region, program, or transaction, you can select the required region, program, or transaction from a view, for example the Regions, Programs, or Transactions view, then request a report for the selected region, program, or transaction. The report is displayed in the Report view, where you can further defines the scope of the report, or run the report again at a different release of CICS.

Alternatively, you can use the facilities in the Report view and create a set of criteria to define the scope of the report.
