CICS Startup and Shutdown

Q:

Can CICS/Log View collect messages during startup (DFHPLTPI) and shutdown (DFHPLTSD) processing?

A:

Include LOGBUPQ in DFHPLTPI AFTER the DFHDELIM statement, and in DFHPLTSD BEFORE the DFHDELIM statement.  Also note that SHUTDOWN(ENABLED) should be specified for the LOGx transactions to prevent looping.
