Hi,
I've a requirement like this. We frequently get deadlocks in our project while performing 'STORE' command(IDMS). And the deadlock information(dump) is filled up in CICS logs which is consuming more space. I'd like to prevent writing the deadlock info(dump) in CICS log(let the deadlock happen). How can I achieve this?
Note: I can see the STORE command has 'perform IDMS-STATUS' para called in it when it is expanded in cobol listing. I think 'perform IDMS-STATUS' is writing the dump.

Re: To prevent deadlock info in logs
Hello,
More to the point - why not fix the deadlock problem . . .
Then why not change this so that the dump is not written?I think 'perform IDMS-STATUS' is writing the dump.

Hi Dick Scherrer,
perform IDMS-STATUS is called internally from STORE command when the compiler expanding it. I don't have control on it.
Avoiding deadlocks causing many issues. Since we've only space constraint, we are thinking to avoid dump of deadlock.

Hello,
Even if you get around the space issue, there will probably be other "opportunities" that have to be resolved.
If you are saying this may be difficult to fix, i'd agree. But it still needs to be fixed . . .Avoiding deadlocks causing many issues.

What does Support say?I don't have control on it.

Re: To prevent deadlock info in logs
I was thinking of CA Support.
They should be able to provide direction if what you want to do can be done.
There may be a site-specific ptf that can be applied.
Good luck,

Re: To prevent deadlock info in logs
I work in a razor blade factory.
When people get cut, they throw their bandages in the trash. That takes up a lot of space.
Is there a way to keep the trash can from filling up?

Yes!! Get a trash can of infinite capacity!
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
