Scanner
The results of running the CICS IA scanners are displayed when you expand Scanner in the IA Navigation view. Expand Scanner to view the results, which are sorted by data set name.
Scanner shows the commands from the Load Module Scanner that are stored in the CIU_SCAN_DETAIL table, and the CSECTs used by the CSECT Scanner that are stored in the CUI_CSECT_INFO table.
To update Scanner with the latest data from the database, click the
Refresh icon. The total number of data sets is displayed in the toolbar below the Refresh icon. For
each data set, the number of programs that represent the scanned results is displayed.
Each data set contains the programs that represent the scanned results. Where relevant, each program has branches that represent each of the CSECTs used by this program. Right-click each program entry in Scanner to see the menu. The menu incorporates both the standard program menu that includes Used By Programs, Used By Transactions, Show Affinities By Type, Uses Resources and the additional menu item Show Commands. The submenu on Show Commands contains the options All Commands, Commands with potential Affinities, and Commands with potential Dependencies.

When selected, these options update the Show Resources view with the expected commands.

You can view the properties for each entry in Scanner by selecting the item and opening the Properties view by clicking .
- Program program name in Collection collection name in Region region name displays the properties from SCAN_SUMMARY
- Program program name in data set name displays the properties from PROGRAM_DETAIL

- Program program name in data set name displays the properties from SCAN_SUMMARY
- Program program name in applid displays the properties from PROGRAM_DETAIL
If either of the IA scanners did not find data for the program (for example, the program was collected by a collector, but was not scanned by the scanner) the corresponding category does not appear in the Properties view.
If you are connected to a CICS IA Version 3.2 or later database, the properties for the COLLECTION_ID and ARCHIVE_DATE fields are displayed. If you are connected to a CICS IA 3.1. database, these fields are not displayed.
For example, if you right-click a program where this data is not available, and click
, commands that were scanned by the scanner and might have induced an affinity are displayed.However, if you right-click the same program, click Show Affinities by Type, and open any of the submenu items, no results are displayed.
For CSECTs, the property results are shown in the format: CSECT CSECT of program program name in data set data set name.
