Multiple-row purge using a single Take Action command

You can purge multiple executing transactions in a single invocation of the Take Action command with the multiple-line-kill function.

About this task

You can highlight multiple rows in the Transaction Analysis workspace; the right-click action menu now includes a Purge selected tasks option. A confirmation dialog is displayed allowing you to change the requested action to include a Force Purge.

To use the feature, navigate to the Transaction Analysis workspace for the appropriate CICS® region.

Procedure

  1. Highlight all tasks to be purged, and right-click to bring up the action menu.
  2. Select Purge selected tasks
    If you selected only one task, this option is not available. You must purge a single task using the existing AID Purge Take Action command.
  3. When the dialog is displayed listing all tasks selected for purging, review the list.
    1. Click OK to purge the selected tasks.
    2. Click Cancel if you decide to not purge all the tasks listed.
      There is a check box on the panel so you can issue a Force Purge command.
  4. If you click OK, the command is issued to CICS. When all commands have been issued, the results dialog displays the status of each command submitted. Note that the results indicate whether the command was successfully issued to CICS but does not show if the task was purged.
  5. Click OK to refresh the display and return to the workspace.
