Applications view

The Applications view shows a list of all applications known to CICS® IA.

The Applications view

The applications are listed in two folders: The number of applications in each folder is displayed after the folder name.

You can use the filter tool in the toolbar of the view to filter the list by application name. The filter applies to both folders in the list. For example, in the example screen capture, the filter M* would display the MAIL application in the IA Applications folder, and a number of applications that begin with M in the Applications folder.

The Programs and Transactions views are populated with all the programs and transactions associated with the applications in the Applications view. To populate the Programs view and Transactions view with the programs and transactions associated with a specific application, right-click the application name and select Programs Used or Transactions Used, as required.

Information about the selected application is displayed in the Properties view.

You can use the context action on an application to display the programs and transactions that define the application.

You can delete data associated with an application in the Applications folder. Right click the application name and select Delete associated data.

Deleting application data
You are asked to confirm the deletion. The confirmation contains the name of the application so that you can confirm the selection. Click Yes to delete the application data. The DB2® stored procedure is called to delete the data, and the results are displayed in the window.
