CDBI–database control inquiry
Chapter 4. CDBI—database control inquiry
Use CDBI to inquire about the status of the interface
between CICS and DBCTL. You can start CDBI from 3270
(and 3270-like) terminals or from the operating system
console.
For detailed information about the CICS-DBCTL interface
and guidance on using the CDBI transaction with databases
controlled by DBCTL, see the
CICS IMS Database Control
Guide
.
Start the transaction by typing the identifier, CDBI, on the
command line of your display, and press the ENTER key.
You get the following display:
CDBI CICS-DBCTL INTERFACE INQUIRY 91.184
11:23:5
Status : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
CICS APPLID: DBDCCICS
DBCTL ID : SYS1
PF1 = Help 2 = Refresh 3 = End

The display also shows you the application identifier of the
CICS system (in this case, DBDCCICS), and the identifier of
the DBCTL system to which CICS is connected.
