CICS transaction disabled

Hi,

We have a sandbox system where we always find that the CICS transaction is in Disabled state due to which the tso session always hangs. For a quick response we purge all those task which are running under loop, But this is happening frequently due to which the tso session is impacted to a great extent. Please advice us solution to overcome this issue.

pleas learn to describe properly Your issues ...
... CICS transaction is in Disabled state due to which the tso session always hangs

if a transaction is disabled it will never be executed,
hence it (that transaction) will never be able to interfere (hang - whatever it means) with a TSO session

For a quick response we purge all those task which are running under loop

how does a loop relate to a disabled transaction,
if a task is looping there are certainly issues with the program logic... FIX IT

But this is happening frequently due to which the tso session is impacted to a great extent

a proper system setup will not let unrelated <tasks> ( CICS transaction, TSO users ) interfere with each other

let' s hope that the system is not setup in the same way You asked Your question!

Hello,

If this is like a few places i've been, the "sandbox" lpar is given too little resoures. Any high-priority "loop" can basically shut down the system.

If some cics transactions are the culprit that go into a loop, reduce the timeout for these/all cics trancactions.

Suggest consideration be given to providing more resources for the sandbox if there are so many bad sets of code. . .
