Displaying CICS tasks from the CICS adapter control panels

We can display information about the CICS tasks that are currently using MQI calls. From the initial panel:

1. Select Task from the menu bar.

2. Select an action from the pull-down menu.

   Select option 1, List all tasks to obtain information about all tasks that are currently active. To limit the scope of the display, select option 2, List from task, to specify the starting number of the first task to be displayed.
