Identifying the tasks associated with a transaction

In this example, you’ll see how to identify the tasks associated with an instance of transaction CONL in CICSplex PLXPROD1.

  1. If the current context isn’t PLXPROD1, issue the command CON PLXPROD1 from the current view.
  2. Display a list of all tasks in the CICSplex.

    From the current view, issue the command TASK. The TASK view, showing the status of all tasks in the current scope, is displayed:

  3. Move the cursor to the Unit of Work ID field of the transaction in question.

    Assume that you are interested in transaction CONL in CICS® system CICSPA01. Move the cursor so that it is on the Unit of Work ID value of 8286F48104090001.

  4. Hyperlink on the selected Unit of Work ID field.

    Press enter. This will re-display the TASK view showing tasks that have the same network Unit of Work ID.

    Note that if monitoring is inactive in a CICS system, the network Unit of Work ID is not available. As a result:
