Hum, In this particular case, I would likely try to connect to the CICS using the EXCI interface. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.3.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.doc/dfhtm/topics/dfhtm4a.html What we actually do is use CA/OPS-MVS to trap the DFHSI1517 message (CONTROL IS BEING GIVEN) and the DFHKE1799 message (SHUTDOWN IS COMPLETE) messages to set an appropriate CA7 resource so that batch jobs will or won't be submitted depending on whether a particular CICS region is up or down. > > > -- > Tony Thigpen > -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
