IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS, Version 5.1.0

CICSplex Transaction Analysis attribute group

The CICSplex Transaction Analysis attributes supply data about CICS transaction IDs, the amount of time a transaction has been running, inclusion or exclusion of system transactions, and the type of wait for the transaction. Use the CICSplex Transaction Analysis attributes in situations to help identify applications that are making poor use of serially reusable resources and degrading system performance.

These attributes provide data for the Transaction Analysis table view.

CICS Name Indicates the name that identifies a CICS region. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.

CICS SYSIDNT Indicates the four character CICS system ID assigned to this CICS region. CICS system IDs are always in uppercase characters. The value is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters and case-sensitive.

CICS Transaction ID Indicates the four character name of the transaction as defined to CICS. The value is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters and case-sensitive.

CPU Time Indicates the amount of accumulated CPU time (in seconds accurate to hundredths of a second) for this task. The value format is a floating point number accurate to two decimal places.

Current Program ID Is the currently executing program for this transaction. The value is an alphanumeric string, maximum eight characters.

DB2 Correlation Identifier Provides a link to the DB2 Thread Exceptions workspace supplied with the OMEGAMON XE for DB2 on z/OS product. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 12 characters. Format is eeeettttnnnn where:

eeee
Is COMD (command), POOL (pool), or ENTR (DB2ENTRY thread).
tttt
Is the CICS transaction identifier.
nnnn
Is a unique number.

Duration of Suspend Indicates the amount of time the transaction had been suspended at the time this information was collected (current time minus transaction suspend time).

Elapsed Time Indicates the time elapsed, accurate to two decimal places, since the transaction was attached. The value can be entered in the hh:mm:ss.dd format, for example, 00:20:00.56, or as sssssss.dd, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056. See the online help for more details on variable substitution or inputting values in situations and filters.

Exceeds MAXR Threshold Indicates whether the task is over the global resource threshold for CPU consumption. These are the values: Yes and No.

First Program ID The first program executed when the transaction is invoked. The value is an alphanumeric string, maximum eight characters.

Origin Node The combination of the z/OS System ID (SMFID) and the CICS region name. This is the value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.

When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.

PSB Name The Program Specification Block identifier scheduled to access an IMS database. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum eight characters.

Program ID This item Indicates the CICS program name or the umbrella name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum eight characters.

Recovery Token The unique hexadecimal identifier used to correlate work done between CICS and DBCTL. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 16 characters.

Resource Name The name of the resource the transaction is waiting to access.

Resource Type The category of resource for which the transaction is waiting.

Status Indicates whether the transaction is active or inactive. The status is not displayed in CICS workspaces. Use this value only for creating situations. These are the values: Active or Inactive

System Task Indicates whether the task is designated by CICS as a system task or non system task. These are the valid values:

System ID Indicates the four character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters, and case sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.

Task Number Indicates the number sequentially assigned by CICS to uniquely identify each task. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum five characters, and case sensitive.

Task State Indicates whether the transaction is currently running or not. These are the values:

Termid Indicates the four character ID of the terminal where the transaction originated. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters, and case sensitive.

Trace Active Indicates if trace has been collected for the task. These are the valid values:

Transaction ID Indicates the four character name of the transaction. The value format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of four characters, and case sensitive.

Unit of Work Used internally to provide information in unit of work reports. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 52 characters.

User ID Indicates your eight character CICS logon ID. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum eight characters, and case sensitive.

Wait Type Indicates the type of wait for the transaction. These are the values: CPU, Database, DatXface, DBCntl, DL/I, Dump, Enqueue, Events, FEPI, File, Interval, JES, Journal, Loader, Lock, LogMgr, MQSeries, MRO, MRO/ISC, z/OS, Other, Recovery, Security, Storage, Systasks, TaskCntl, TaskLims, TempStor, Terminal, TPPS, TranData, Unknown, User, and XRF
