When you can get into the region, issue the STAT transaction to determine which storage area above the line is running out of space. You're probably -- but not necessarily -- going to need to increase EDSALIM. If you get statistics on shut down, look at a previous run of the region to determine the storage high water marks, which usually tell where storage is running low.

Either your CICS has too little storage assigned to it or a transaction is eating up the storage or ...... Unfortunately, many people have no idea about CICS and then read tables with thousands of entries into storage, or transactions run way too long hold storage for a long time or ....

I searched some CICS manuals came to know that MaxTSHPool attributes in the Region Definitions (RD) not enough. please let me know how can i change MaxTSHPool value.

Have you examined what is causing the problem? I can not imagine that defining a terminal is causing the problem at all. What CICS level are you at? What definitions do you have for EDSALIM (and the other size parameters)? What size definitions do you have for the CICS region? You need to do some more research (you might find the answers yourself) and post some information. DON'T just assume something. If you do find your answers, which are very much site specific, let us know what they were for you.
