Creating your own program exclude, transaction exclude, command exclude, and resource compression list

Start of changeYou 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. End of change

For details of how to specify command flow exclude information, see Managing the Command Flow collection using transaction CINC.

Start of changeA 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.End of change

For details of how to specify which exclude lists the Collector is to use, see Specifying region-specific options: General.

Start of changeCICS® IA supplies sample program exclude, transaction exclude, command exclude, and resource compression lists:
  • 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.
  • Start of changeThe default command exclude list, supplied with CICS IA, is called CIUXCOMM and is empty.End of change
  • The default resource compression list, supplied with CICS IA, is called CIUXRCOM and is empty.
