Using a new transaction ID

The cicsping utility requires the SYGWCAI2 program, which is accessed through the default SYPG transaction.

NoteThe cicsping utility requires the SYPG transaction. You can rename the transaction.

If your system programmer changes the name of the cicsping mainframe transaction, run cicsping using the -T parameter to specify the new transaction ID.

In the following example, cicsping runs against a mainframe transaction that was renamed “SYP2”:

cicsping -TSYP2

Replace SYP2 in the example with your own transaction ID.
