Creating your own program exclude, transaction exclude, command exclude, and resource compression list
You can use program exclude lists, transaction exclude lists, command exclude
lists, and resource compression list to limit the volume of information collected by the Collector.
In this section the term, Collector, refers to the Affinity and Dependency collector functions but
for command exclude list the term, Collector, refers only to the Dependency collector functions.
For details of how to specify command flow exclude information, see Managing the Command Flow collection using transaction CINC.
A program exclude list contains a list of program-name prefixes; the Collector does not
collect data for any program that has the name beginning with one of the prefixes. Similarly, a
transaction exclude list contains a list of transaction-name prefixes; the Collector does not
collect data for any transaction that has a name beginning with one of the prefixes. Similarly, a
command exclude list contains a list of CICS command codes and groups of command codes. The
Collector does not collect data for any command or any command from the command group.
For details of how to specify which exclude lists the Collector is to use, see Specifying region-specific options: General.

- The default program exclude list, supplied with CICS IA, is called CIUXPROG; it contains the name prefixes of IBM® components about which you do not normally want to collect information.
- The default transaction exclude list, supplied with CICS IA, is called CIUXTRAN and is empty.
The default command exclude list, supplied with CICS IA, is called CIUXCOMM and is empty.
- The default resource compression list, supplied with CICS IA, is called CIUXRCOM and is empty.
