Description

The INQUIRE EXCI command identifies the names of batch jobs currently connected to CICS through the interregion communication (IRC) facility.

Options

EXCI(data-value)
returns a 35-character string identifying the EXCI client job and on what z/OS system it is running .
TASK(data-value)
specifies, the fullword binary task number of the mirror transaction running on behalf of a specific batch job.

Information about jobs using the external CICS interface is available only after that job has issued at least one DPL request. A nonzero task number indicates that a DPL request is currently active. A zero task number indicates that an external CICS interface session is still open (connected) for that job, although no DPL request is currently active.

URID(data-value)
specifies, when the job is using RRMS to coordinate updates, and when there is an active DPL request for the session, a 32-character string containing the hexadecimal representation of the RRMS Unit of Recovery Identifier.
