Ken, What component ( job/task ) of View Direct is experiencing this behavior (i.e. CICS region, Administration Task, other, etc. )?
We are running the View Direct ( release 6.2 ) and Document Direct ( release 1.2 ) and we haven't experienced exactly what you have described. We do see NON-CICS virtual storage activity in the CICS region that supports the View Direct 3270 and Document Direct users. However, that NON-CICS virtual storage activity is because of users accessing reports, since each 'version' of a VIEW DIRECT report is a ESDS VSAM dataset, the MVS Allocation/MVS Open activity will result in an increase in NON-CICS virtual storage activity in that CICS region. When the user exits that report, the ESDS VSAM dataset is MVS Closed/MVS De-allocated from the CICS region and therefore the NON-CICS virtual storage is released. This CICS region usually runs for 7 days between recycles. Also, we see CICS virtual storage activity is the same CICS region that is related to Document Direct users. This CICS virtual storage activity is related to the 'PDF-type' reports that we have Document Direct 'serve' to Windows ( IE Browser ) users. However, once the PDF document is sent to the Windows users, that CICS virtual storage also appears to be released. Lastly, the View Direct Administration task ( a Batch Job in our environment ) appears to have a very stable, almost consistent use of its virtual storage area.
