Removing duplicate resources from the Collector files

With the cleanup batch utility, you can remove duplicate resources to minimize the volume of the data stored in the Collector files.

CICS® IA provides a batch utility to remove the collected resource types, which have a resource name that consists of a constant prefix and a variable. These types of resource name might lead to a large amount of duplicate data stored for the same command in a particular transaction and program combination.

To avoid collecting unnecessary data, set up a resource prefix table. See Creating a resource prefix list.

The batch utility consists of the CIUJCLDL sample batch job, which calls the CIUDEL program. With this utility, you can clean up collected TSQueue CICS resource prefixes, ENQueue CICS resource prefixes, and the detailed record associated with a TSQueue. You can remove data from all of the CICS regions or from one chosen region.
