CDBI–database control inquiry

Chapter 4. CDBI—database control inquiry

Use CDBI to inquire about the status of the interface
between CICS and DBCTL. You can start CDBI from 3270
(and 3270-like) terminals or from the operating system
console.

For detailed information about the CICS-DBCTL interface
and guidance on using the CDBI transaction with databases
controlled by DBCTL, see the

CICS IMS Database Control

Guide.

Start the transaction by typing the identifier, CDBI, on the
command line of your display, and press the ENTER key.
You get the following display:

CDBI

CICS-DBCTL INTERFACE INQUIRY

CICS APPLID: DBDCCICS
