CICS Transaction Lifetime Component Properties

This section lists all of the properties of the CICS transaction lifetime component. CICS transaction lifetime is the root component of every CICS transaction trace, and any of its child components are nested within it. Properties that can be filtered in the Transaction Trace Session dialog list the filter name.

ABEND Code

An ABEND code appears in the bottom pane of the Trace View only when a transaction ends abnormally.

Applid

Specifies the network ID of the target CICS server.

Format: A string up to eight characters in length

CrossProcessData

Specifies a UUID used for correlation and is applicable only to web service transaction tracers.

Format: A 32-byte UUID

Communication Method

The communication method that is used to invoke the transaction:

• Web Service
• CTG Channel
• MQ Trigger Message
• HTTP

Filter: CICS/IMS communication method equals

IscopeMQID

Specifies a 48-byte hexadecimal string that is used for the correlation with multiple UUIDs; used with the WebSphere MQ series tracer only. The name and value are reversed for performance improvements on correlation.

IscopeCTGID

Specifies a 32-byte UUID used for the correlation with only one UUID; used with the CTG CA SYSVIEW tracers only. The name and value are reversed for performance improvements on correlation.

Job Name (Server Name)

Indicates the region where the CICS transaction was processed.

Filter: CICS server name (CTG) equals

Microsecond Lifetime

Specifies the transaction duration in microseconds.

Filter: CICS/IMS transaction lifetime lasting longer than

Program Name

Displays the name of the last executed program in the CICS region. If more than one program was run in an extended transaction, then one component per program is a child of the dispatch component. Each child component has a Program Name property listing the associated program.

Filter: CICS program name (CTG) equals

SMF SysId

Specifies the identifier of the system delivering the SMF records.

SeqNoCrossProcessData

Specifies the sequence ID of the correlation UUID.

Task Number

Specifies the number that identifies this transaction task.

Trace ID

Specifies the trace identifier, a unique value that is generated for each trace event.

Trace Type

Specifies the transaction trace type.

Normal

A normal trace that is taken during a transaction trace session.

Alternately, a trace that correlates with a sample from another agent.

Sampled

A sample trace that is taken because sampling is set. The sample trace appears in the Transaction Trace Viewer pane as correlated traces.

Transaction Name

Indicates the name of the transaction in the CICS region.

Filter: CICS transaction name (CTG) equals

Transaction Processor

Specifies the transaction processor that ran the transaction.

CICS

Transaction was run on CICS.

Filter: CICS/IMS transaction processor name equals

Umbrella Name

Specifies the transaction ID of the umbrella transaction when it invokes this transaction.

Umbrella Type

The type of the umbrella transaction if present.

Unit of Work ID

Specifies the unit of work ID associated with the transaction.

When the CICS transaction is an issue, use the contents of this field to find the associated SMF record in CA SYSVIEW.

CICS transactions:

CTRANLOG; SELECT UOWID EQ <value_of_Unit_of_Work_ID>;

Note: The CA SYSVIEW administrators can find the corresponding SMF record for this transaction using the CA SYSVIEW GUI.

Web Service Name

Indicates the name of the web service that is used to execute this transaction. This property is applicable only to web service transaction tracers.

Filter: CICS web service name equals
