Control functions
The CICS adapter's control functions (the CKQC transaction) let you
manage the connections between CICS and WebSphere MQ dynamically. You can invoke
these functions using the CICS adapter panels, from the command line, or from
a CICS application. You can use the adapter's control function to:
- Start or stop a connection to a queue manager.
- Modify the current connection. For example, you can reset the connection
statistics, change the adapter's trace ID number, and enable or disable
the API-crossing exit.
- Display the current status of a connection and the statistics associated
with that connection.
- Start or stop an instance of the task initiator transaction, CKTI. ("Task initiator transaction" is CICS terminology; in WebSphere MQ terminology,
this is a trigger monitor.)
- Display details of the current instances of CKTI.
- Display details of the CICS tasks currently using the adapter.
These functions and the different methods of invoking them are described
in the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Administration Guide.
