Status (CICS Regions)

The CICS regions status metrics appear under the folder: CICS Regions|<region name>|Status.

These status metrics are reported for CICS regions. For the status metrics, every field from CA SYSVIEW is displayed as two metrics.

The first metric without the value suffix shows the actual status as a string. The possible values vary from one metric to another.

The second metric with the value suffix shows a numeric value for the status of the metric. This one applies to all status metrics. The CICS metrics usually have the same mapping.

Possible values are:

• 0 is NONE.
• 1 is NORMAL.
• 2 is HIGH.
• 3 is WARNING.
• 4 is PROBLEM.

The following status metrics are available:
