Is there any way to view the SIT parameters used to set our environment??

ashutosh_agl3,

Can you elaborate on which SIT you are referring ?

SIT = Session Index Table

or

SIT = System Initialization Table which is a CICS table containing user-specified data that will control a system initialization process.

ashutosh_agl3,

Please post your queries in the approriate forums. A Cics related question should be posted in CICS forum instead of a TSO forum . Also please try to follow the rules. Post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question.

You can use DUMP transaction to dump the SIT table. check this link

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Ps: I am moving this topic to CICS forum.

As Kolusu mentioned,
CEMT DUMP TRANSACTION... SIT
will get a raw dump of the SIT which you can decode with the 'CICS data areas' manual. There are also various ways to get formatted SIT data:

1/
CEMT I SYS
will list some of the SIT options with meaningful values

2/ Debugging packages like XPEDITER/CICS and INTERTEST usually have semi-formatted dumps for control blocks like the SIT -e.g. Intertest produces a list of SIT field names and contents in hex and char format

3/ Monitor packages like Omegamon/CICS and Mainview have various levels of formatted/unformatted SIT display.

4/ The CICS startup JCL JESMSGLG will display all SIT options overridden by SYSIN or JCL. In our case this means nearly all of the, since we only have a minimal SIT assembled which virtually never changes, using the SYSIN to specify most values.

5/ I've got a vague feeling that CICS update magazine (www.xephon.com) has some free code for displaying a semi-formatted SIT in CICS. If so, the code should be in that website's free archive.
