Error description
CICS exit memory is freed up when CICS transactions end. Memory consumption grows when multiple long-lived transactions are sent in the CICS region.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of Rational Integration Tester working with CICS * * DPL recording * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Long lived transactions were holding on to too much memory, * * creating performance issues. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
In Rational Integration Tester 8.7.0.1: 1) Transactions are now manually allocated and freed in RITEXITC instead of waiting for the end of life of the transaction. This change frees up memory that was previously held by long-lived transactions. 2) The RITHRTBT program is now used instead of the less efficient RITCONFG program to provide heartbeat capability. 3) The Rational Integration Tester CICS Agent now supports a JOBNAME of less than 8 characters, such as CICS52B.
