Changing the Collector options
You can control how the Collector operates by changing the options that it uses.
Option values are preserved in the CICS® IA control file, CIUCNTL, so that they can be used across separate runs of the Collector. For more information about the control file, see The control record VSAM file.
Running the CINT transaction at one CICS terminal,
you can:
- Set region-specific options for a single Collector running on the local, or on a remote, CICS region; see Specifying region-specific options: Region configuration.
- Set region-specific options for each of multiple Collectors running on different CICS regions; see Specifying region-specific options: Region configuration. You can set options for all the monitored regions simultaneously, provided that the options are to be set to identical values on each region.
- Set global options that apply to all the Collectors you are running; see Changing global options.
Changes take effect only when the Collector is either restarted, Operations action 6 (Refresh Run Options) on screen CIU100 is selected, or the CINT REFRESHOPTIONS transaction is issued.
