Hello
My module starts a transaction with a start command as follows:
| Code: |
EXEC CICS START
* INTERVAL(000015)
TRANSID(WS-TASK-TRANSID)
FROM(DFHCOMMAREA)
LENGTH(EIBCALEN)
END-EXEC.
|
I commented out the interval command. It was not commented in original code.
However in both the cases the transaction does not appear running. I put a display exactly before this command and exactly after this and both appear in the logs.
I also put a display in the module called by this transaction but that display does not appear in the logs. No error in the logs. Transaction seems to be defined correctly in the CICS region.
Please advise. |

| I dont have an Xpediter and CEDF takes too much time to get in here (There are many modules before this). |

Have you checked that the initial program for the task is defined and available? Also, it's usual to code with the TRANSID specified immediately after the START e.g.
| Code: |
EXEC CICS START
TRANSID(WS-TASK-TRANSID)
INTERVAL(000015)
FROM(DFHCOMMAREA)
LENGTH(EIBCALEN)
END-EXEC. |

The transaction could be running in a different region.
The transaction program could be defined in a data set higher in the DFHRPL concatenation than the one you are changing. |

| I changed the order of TRANSID and interval as well, but of no use. I checked the Load Libraries in CICS JCL and they are fine. |

Have you discussed the issue with your site support group? They should be your FIRST point of contact for site-specific issues such as this.

This is completely unresponsive to my suggestion that the program could be loading from a library other than the one you are compiling into. Furthermore, did you check the STEPLIB or DFHRPL? They are different and have entirely different purposes; merely saying you checked "the Load Libraries" (sic) does NOT tell us which you were looking at. |

If it's truly a local TRANSID, just before invoking the program which issues the START, issue a CEDX VSET, which is the non-terminal version of CEDF.
If it's REMOTE, log into the REMOTE region and issue the same CEDX VSET.
You get the same screens as CEDF except, EIBTRMID = LOW-VALUES.
Hopefully, you have CEDX access. 
HTH.... |

How do you know this for sure? Did your CICS support told you or did some incomplete look up by your own? How does Display help you here? Do you have any tool like Omegamon where you can see the started task? why do you not show us both the transaction definition?
Last but not the least verify this.
| Code: |
| You can use INQUIRE commands to ensure that the transaction and program are enabled at the time of the START command, but either might become unavailable before task creation. |

Your displays suggest that the transaction was never started. So, have you checked the resp conditions? What do they tell?

if what I say above <Highlighted> is true for the situation TS into then that's treated as an exception where CICS don't set any error , that is my understanding else right, TS should look for resp code and move further accordingly. |

| Have you verified whether or not the program is being executed by using CEMT I PROG(VSET0912) before the transaction and then again after the transaction, checking to see that the USECOUNT increases between the two CEMT commands? |

| Sorry Rohit, was on holidays for few days. The displays are dependent on a flag which is stored in a queue and the flag was turned off . I turned that flag on and displays are visible. Thanks a lot. |

| in future don't really test these functions by just displays and CICS never meant to test by that so look for the other options suppiled in this post to ensure the transactions are really started also talk to site support to know this all if you cant do it by yourself but now you know. |
