Dump Analysis situations

The predefined situations in this category monitor dumps.

Note:
All the attribute names in this group are prefixed with CICSplex_Dump_Analysis, except where stated.
CICSplex_TranDumps_Warning
Warning threshold exceeded for transaction dumps.

Use the transaction history component of Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS to determine which transactions have abnormally terminated. To check for storage violations, select the Region Overview report from the navigation tree.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute Transaction_Dumps is greater than 1 
and 
 the value of the attribute Transaction_Dumps is less than or equal
to 2
CICSplex_TranDumps_Critical
Critical threshold exceeded for transaction dumps.

Use the transaction history component of Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS to determine which transactions have abnormally terminated. To check for storage violations, select the Region Overview report from the navigation tree.

Formula

If 
the value of the attribute Transaction_Dumps is greater than 2
CICSplex_SysDumps_Warning
Warning threshold exceeded for system dumps.

Inspect the operator's console for error messages which can indicate the cause of the problem. Format the dump data set to determine what caused the abnormal termination. Ensure the predicate in this situation specifies a value lower than the number of SYS1.DUMPnn data sets to ensure that dumps are not lost.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute System_Dumps is greater than 0 
and 
 the value of the attribute System_Dumps is less than or equal to 1
CICSplex_SysDumps_Critical
Critical threshold exceeded for system dumps.

Inspect the operator's console for error messages which can indicate the cause of the problem. Format the dump data set to determine what caused the abnormal termination. Ensure the predicate in this situation specifies a value lower than the number of SYS1.DUMPnn data sets to ensure that dumps are not lost.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute System_Dumps is greater than 1
CICSplex_TakingSDUMP_Warning
Warning threshold exceeded for taking system dump.

Inspect the operator's console for error messages which can indicate the cause of the problem. Format the contents of the dump data set to diagnose the CICS abnormal termination.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute Taking_SDUMP equals Yes
CICSplex_TakingSDUMP_Critical
Critical threshold exceeded for taking system dump.

Inspect the operator's console for error messages which can indicate the cause of the problem. Format the contents of the dump data set to diagnose the CICS abnormal termination.

Formula

If 
the value of the attribute Taking_SDUMP equals Yes
CICSplex_TranDumpsHr_Warning
Warning threshold exceeded for transaction dumps per hour.

Use the transaction history component of Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS to determine which transactions have abnormally terminated. To check for storage violations, select the Region Overview report from the navigation tree.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute Transaction_Dumps_in_Last_Hour is
greater than 0 
and 
 the value of the attribute Transaction_Dumps_in_Last_Hour is less
than or equal to 1
CICSplex_TranDumpsHr_Critical
Critical threshold exceeded for transaction dumps per hour.

Use the transaction history component of Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS to determine which transactions have abnormally terminated. To check for storage violations, select the Region Overview report from the navigation tree.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute Transaction_Dumps_in_Last_Hour is
greater than 1
CICSplex_SysDumpsHr_Warning
Warning threshold exceeded for system dumps per hour.

Inspect the operator's console for error messages which can indicate the cause of the problem. Format the dump data set to determine what caused the abnormal termination. Ensure the predicate in this situation specifies a value lower than the number of SYS1.DUMPnn data sets to ensure that dumps are not lost.

Formula

If 
 the value of the attribute System_Dumps_in_Last_Hour is greater
than 0 and the value of the attribute System_Dumps_in_Last_Hour is
less than or equal to 1
CICSplex_SysDumpsHr_Critical
Critical threshold exceeded for system dumps per hour.

Inspect the operator's console for error messages which can indicate the cause of the problem. Format the dump data set to determine what caused the abnormal termination. Ensure the predicate in this situation specifies a value lower than the number of SYS1.DUMPnn data sets to ensure that dumps are not lost.

Formula
