IMS Transaction Lifetime Properties

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

ABEND Code

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

Communication Method

Specifies the communication method used to invoke the transaction.

IMS values

• MQ IMS Bridge
• MQ IMS Adapter

Filter: CICS/IMS communication method equals

CPU Time

Specifies the CPU time used by the dependent region to process the transaction in microseconds. The percentage of the Transaction Lifetime or Process time spent on CPU is displayed in parenthesis.

IscopeMQID

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

Job Name (Dependent Region)

Specifies the dependent region job name of the IMS dependent region that processed the transaction.

Filter: IMS job name equals

LTerm Name

Specifies the logical terminal name associated with this instance of the transaction.

Microsecond Lifetime

Specifies the duration of the Transaction Lifetime in microseconds.

Filter: CICS/IMS transaction lifetime lasting longer than

PSB Name

Specifies the program specification block (PSB) name associated with the transaction.

Filter: IMS PSB name equals

Region ID

Specifies the PST ID associated with the IMS-dependent region that processed the transaction.

Trace Type

Specifies the transaction trace type.

Normal

A normal trace taken during a transaction trace session.

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

Sample

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

Transaction Class

Specifies the transaction class where the transaction was scheduled.

Transaction ID

Specifies the transaction name

Filter: IMS transaction ID equals

Transaction Origin

Specifies the origin which can be either Shared Queues, OTMA, APPC, LOCAL, or the bit settings in the record description.

Transaction Priority

Specifies the priority at which the transaction was dispatched.

Transaction Processor

Specifies the transaction processor that ran the transaction.

IMS

Transaction was run on IMS.

Filter: CICS/IMS transaction processor name equals

Transaction Type

Specifies the transaction types.

• A - Program ABEND
• B - Processing restarted
• C - Conversational send/receive
• D - Transmit only conversations
• F - FORMAT entered
• M - Message switch
• O - Region Occupancy
• P - Program switch
• Q - Transmit only program switch
• R - Program running at ABEND
• S - Send/Receive processing
• T - Transmit only
• X - Conversational program switch
• Y - Transmit only conversational program switch
• Z - Transaction IMLB timeout

Unit of Work ID

Specifies the unit of work ID associated with the transaction.

Use the contents of this field to find the associated SMF record in CA SYSVIEW.

IMS transactions:

IMSTLOG UOW <value_of_Unit_of_Work_ID>;

User ID

Specifies the user ID associated with this instance of the transaction.

Filter: user ID
