| Measure | Implementation | |---------|----------------| | | Always validate process tokens before posting or signaling. | | Graceful Termination | Ensure programs deregister from cross-memory services at end-of-job. | | Monitor CICS Transient Programs | Use CEMT INQUIRE PROGRAM to detect programs marked TRANS or UNLOAD . | | LE Initialization | In non-LE programs, add CEEBINT dummy call to initialize LE if needed. | | Dumps and Traces | Turn on CICS trace ( TR=ON ) or LE trace ( CEEBOX ) to capture failing sequence. | | Regular PTF Application | Keep z/OS, CICS, IMS, and LE at latest maintenance levels. |
