Verifying Z Abend Investigator customization under CICS

This section is applicable only if you have CICS® installed, and have completed the customization of CICS® as described in Customizing the CICS environment.

Having installed the CFA transaction, and the exits that you want, invoke the CFA transaction from a CICS® terminal, and press PF9 to see the following display:

Figure 1. Sample CFA IVP Testing display

                   Z Abend Investigator IVP Testing

Options: S=Select

                   IVP Description
_ 0C1 in program HFZXFA
_ EXEC CICS DUMP DUMPCODE(FAD1) - XDUREQ exit must be installed
_ EXEC CICS ABEND ABCODE(FLT1)
_ EXEC CICS ABEND ABCODE(FLT2)  - LE Assembler













Use S to Select the IVP to execute
          PF3=Exit       ENTER=Execute

From here, type S next to the desired tests (note that the XDUREQ exit must be installed for the EXEC CICS® DUMP DUMPCODE(FAD1) test), and press Enter.

Since DeferredReport is the default option for CICS®, determine the history file name and fault ID for each IVP from the HFZ0003I messages, and then, using the Z Abend Investigator ISPF interface, issue the 'V' line command against each fault entry to view the saved report.
