Hi,

I am working on a issue where a online cics module is switched off/drained due to ongoing DB2 housekeeping.
I want to make sure that before drained, stopped, the online module should execute piece of cics code that will START itself after certain interval.

Can I achieve this using CICS HANDLE command? Will HANDLE command able to trap module being drained due to DB2 housekeeping running.

Your thoughts please.

What do you understand by “Drained” or “switched off” term? When is that happening and what causing that to happen ?

As far as I understand, there is DB2 housekeeping running which is draining the online cics module. I think by draining means abnormally terminate running cics module?

That’s seems scary about what you say. Why would such housekeeping anyone do when users are using the application ?

However, Whoever is doing this housekeeping should also takes care If this START task and not the Developers concern.

There is no such thing as "draining a CICS module". If you wish to stop a CICS transaction prior to DB2 maintenance function being performed and restart it after, that can be done with commands in a batch job.
