You can find out if command flow information is collected about a transaction from any view where a Transaction resource is displayed in the CICS® IA plug-in.
To view the Command Flow of a transaction, right-click the chosen transaction and select Show Command Flow runs from the menu.
The results are displayed in the Resources view. The Command Flow ID is shown with the region, the time of the first command issued for a each particular run for each Task ID, and the Task ID.
To analyze the Task ID information further, right-click a Task ID and click the Show Execution option from the menu.
The results, that show the execution of that task, are displayed in the Command Flow view.
The information in the Command Flow view is broken down into three sections, TCB Modes Used and TCB Mode Switches in the upper section of the view, and the lower section of the view that displays the Command Flow information.
The Command Flows are ordered by time under the Program that ran the command. TCB Mode and Previous TCB Mode are shown for each command.
If
a command caused a TCB Mode switch to occur the icon for the command
has a TCB mode switch icon attached to it. If the command has a non zero RESP or RESP2
code the icon for the command has a warning icon
attached
to it. If you click a command with the warning icon the RESP codes
are displayed in the lower bar of the Command Flow view.
