Running the CICS IA VSAM clean up utility
The CICS® IA VSAM clean up utility can remove resources from one particular region or from all regions.
For information about the dependency-causing program commands that you can clean up see Dependency-related commands.
You can clean up the following program commands:
- The transactions and commands that you have specified to be monitored by the Collector. See Specifying region-specific options: API and SPI commands to be monitored.
- The command types that you specify in the REPTYPE DD statement of the clean up job. See Modifying a clean up utility job.
- The CICS command groups that you specify in the CMDGRPS DD statement. See Modifying a clean up utility job.
If your dependency data files are shared by multiple regions, you can run only one clean up job to remove resources whether from one particular region or from all the regions. However, if each monitored region has its own region-specific set of the dependency data files, you must run the job multiple times against the relevant dependency files for each region to clean up data from multiple regions.
