CICS Socket Interface - Tips and Techniques - Miscellaneous

Need to handle TCP/IP failure in regions with CICS Socket Interface.

Local solution (see appendix) runs periodically (every 3 minutes) to verify listener task (CSKL) is in the CICS task list.

IBM supplied program EZACIC20, also used to start/stop the interface in the PLT(s), can be utilized as appropriate.

Need to occasionally verify that the CICS Socket Interface is working and do IVP testing (see appendix).

If using CA-InterTest, need to update the IN25UEXI IN25UEX macros which define the code signatures for callable interfaces like the CICS Socket Interface, DB2, MQSERIES, etc. See notes for details.
