This panel allows you to specify the systems that belong to the Group. To select one or more from a list of available systems, position the cursor on the System field and press Prompt (F4) or enter the S line action.

A group is identified by its name and description:
Group
The name of a Group to uniquely identify a group of systems. The name can be up to eight alphanumeric (A-Z,0-9) or special (@,#,$) characters.

A Group name is an arbitrary name used to identify a group of related CICS® systems for reporting purposes, such as those systems that connect via IRC/MRO, ISC/APPC, IPIC, or transaction grouping.

Description
Description is free-format text up to 36 characters to describe the group.
Each system in the list has the following attributes:
System, Type, Image
A System is identified by the combination of:
  • System name which is one of the following depending on the type:
    • CICS generic APPLID
    • MVS™ (SMF) Image ID
    • DB2® Subsystem ID
    • WebSphere® MQ Subsystem ID
    • MVS System Logger
  • Type of System: CICS, Image, DB2, MQ, or Logger
  • MVS (SMF) Image ID

You can enter a system name directly. Alternatively, to select one or more from a list, enter the line action S or press Prompt (F4) from the System field.

Description
Description is free-format text up to 36 characters to describe the system. This is for your reference only, although CICS PA will insert it as a comment in your Report Set JCL.

Note: You can only specify known Systems; you cannot define new Systems from this panel.
Primary Commands: The following primary commands are valid for this panel:
FIND string
This command (or F) looks for the specified character string in all columns of displayed data. The string need only be enclosed in quotes if there are embedded spaces. The search is not case sensitive. The display scrolls to the row where the string is found and positions the cursor on the matching data. To find more occurrences, use F5 or the RFIND command repeatedly.

If there is no match but the search did not begin at the top of the list, the screen does not change and the message *Bottom of data reached* is displayed. Use F5 or RFIND to search from the top.

If there is no match in the entire list, the screen does not change and a String not found message is displayed.

Also available from Edit in the action bar.

SORT SYSTEM|TYPE|IMAGE|DESCription
This command sorts the list of Systems on the specified column. The default is SYSTEM (then TYPE and IMAGE). The order is retained on exit.

Also available from Edit in the action bar.

RESET
This command (or RES) removes all outstanding line actions and deletes any blank rows.

Also available from Edit in the action bar
