CICS/Environment Manager is a software system that provides a fast, efficient, and cost effective way to manage CICS environments.

• Supports 24 x 7 operations by eliminating the need to recycle CICS regions to clean up temporary storage queues (TSQs) or to recover/reset terminal ID's.
• Promotes maximum user availability through periodic monitoring.
• Is easy to install, use and maintain.
• Makes network consolidations or conversions much easier by eliminating duplicate terminal IDs.

CICS/EM Features

• Provides an autoinstall URM (User Replacable Module) that supplies TERMID's for up to 100 connected CICS regions in a terminal ID sharing environment (regardless of network naming standards).
• Supports over 40 million unique terminal ID's.
• Deletes orphaned Temporary Storage Queues automatically.
• Has a batch interface to Open/Close files, Enable/Disable TD Queues and transactions, Start non-terminal transactions. Enable/Disable DB2 connections, Start/Stop CA-DATACOM(1) databases. The CICS/EM Batch Interface has compatibility support for CAFC², CA/DADS Plus³, IPCP⁴ and CEMT/Batch⁵ to Aid Migration.
• Automatically recovers CICS storage consumed by application abends in either Transient Data queues, created by LE for MVS abends, or Temporary Storage Queues, created by COBOL II Abends.
• Monitors all CICS regions for availability and notifies operator (or Automated Operations) when region(s) do not respond to a query within a user-specified period.
• Supports console autoinstall for CICS/TS 1.3 and above.
• Reserves terminal ID's specifically or by mask.
• Honors TCT entries defined in the CSD within CICS/EM generated range(s). This includes MRO, ISC, or LU6.2 session/connection ID's.
• Dynamically assigns terminal ID's that are recoverable across executions of CICS in a terminal ID sharing environment.
• Supports user specified range(s) of Terminal ID's to any CICS region.
• Sets System and Transaction dump suppression without using Sequential Terminal, eliminating the need for BTAM batch support, which will increase your DSA size.
• Performs automatic session termination for users of Xpediter/CICS⁶.
