Check the status of a online program.

[Naresh Moni]

I have worked in the batch environment and have knowledge about but now I am starting working on a CICS system. I know that in a batch system, we can see execution day/time of a Job by looking into the SDSF, IOF or JHS. Do we have some similar kind of inquiry available for online programs too? For example, if I want to know if a particular CICS program is still runing in the system or it is obsolete how can I know that? Please advise.

You could do a CEMT INQUIRE

the CEMT inquire will simply tell if the program is still defined to CICS,
but I have often seen quite a bit of garbage left around

to see if a program is still being used the only way are the cics statistics

Thanks. "CEMT I program" helped.

What is "cics statistics" and howdo we get it?
