You could write a replacement cemt transaction that checks the input and
then calls DFHxxx (whatever), but...

I think a 25 pound sledgehammer is a better better option. :-)

I don't think that is exactly fair -- or the sledgehammer. To err is human. I have about 35 years of experience with this stuff and I can *still* accidentally issue CEMT PERF SHUT on the production console instead of on the development console -- as I intended -- or in a production CICS session instead of in a development CICS session. Hey, what can I say? I'm in favor of a little assistance from the computer on these things. ;-)

Murphy’s law?

In our shop operators do not issue CEMT commands. We have jobs prefixed SHUT (to shutdown a region) and CYCL (to cycle a region).

This reduces the possibly of shutting down the wrong CICS region.

Also, it’s possible to setup different TN3270 icons for each region with different screen attributes (background color, border color, etc.). This too helps from entering a command into the wrong region.

I have created a batch job to issue the commands using ARTBCOM, it will be loaded into the TIMETABLE and EXPEDITE will run the job at the appropriate times

msg f4

4 cemt inq vtam

4 cemt perf shut rather than just 4

All done on the console

I have a register of OPS silly things that I have had to amend JCL to stop them , ie run a CICS in the correct partition, stop them doing a cold start,…..

Probably not fair, but it's so easy :)
