CEMT SET TASK
Time(
value
)
specifies the interval, in milliseconds, for which CICS
releases control to the operating system if no
transactions are ready to resume processing. This
interval is known as the ‘region exit interval’.
It can have a value in the range 100–3600000, and must
be greater than or equal to the SCANDELAY value.
In the summary report of the dispatcher statistics, TIME
is referred to as ICV.
CEMT SET TASK
Function: Change the status of tasks.
Description: You cannot specify a list of identifiers, nor
can you use the symbols * and + to specify a family of tasks.
Syntax: Press the Clear key to clear the screen. There are
two ways of commencing this transaction:
Type CEMT SET TASK (theminimum abbreviation is CEMT
STA) with (
value
) or ALL. You get a display that lists the
current status, similar to that obtained by CEMT
INQUIRE TASK. You can then tab to the highlighted or
blank fields and overtype them with the required values.
Type CEMT SET TASK (CEMT S TA)with number or ALL,
followed by one or more attribute settings that you wish
to change. For example, cemt s ta(value)pu will make
the specified task purgeable in system-stall conditions.
Typing ? at the beginning of either the first or second line
gives a syntax prompt. Resetting the values takes effect
immediately.

Options

(
value
)
The CICS-generated task number. This is in the range
1–99999.
All Any changes you request are made to all resources of
the specified type that you are authorized to access.
FOrcepurge
The task is terminated immediately. System integrity is
not guaranteed. In some extreme cases, for example if a
task is forcepurged during backout processing, CICS
terminates abnormally. If you want to terminate a task
but do not want to terminate CICS, you should use
PURGE instead of FORCEPURGE.
PRiority(
value
)
specifies the priority of the task, in the range 0–255
where 255 is the highest priority.
PUrge
The task is terminated. Task termination occurs only
when system and data integrity can be maintained.
