Managing transaction and system failures

To help you manage transaction failures and uncontrolled shutdowns of the system, a number of facilities are available to help you.

About this task

These facilities ensure that:
  1. Files and databases remain in a coordinated and consistent state.
  2. Diagnostic and warning information is produced if a program fails.
  3. Communication between transactions is not affected by the failure.

The actions taken by CICS® are described under Unit of work recovery and abend processing and Processing operating system abends and program checks.
