Field Descriptions

A description of the fields in the sample report follows:

SYSTEM NAME and VERSION

Identify the name and version of the system associated with the tasks being described.

TASK and TASK VERS

Identify the name and version number of the task being described.

PROGRAM and PROG VERS

Identify the name and version number of the initial program invoked by the system for the task being described.

BUILDER

Identifies the builder code for the record that defines the task occurrence. For a description of builder codes, see the Builder Codes table at the end of this chapter.

ACTION

Indicates whether the task occurrence has been updated (U) or deleted (D) or remains unchanged (blank) since the most recent generate of the system.

TCF TASKCODE

Identifies the code that invokes the transfer control facility (TCF) control program (RHDCUMBR) under which this task will run.

TCF VERS

Identifies the version of the TCF task code.

PRIORITY

Identifies the dispatching priority for the task.

INPUT

Indicates whether the terminal input buffer associated with the task contains data in addition to the task code at run time.

MAP

Indicates whether a mapout operation is performed automatically when the task is invoked.

INTERNAL

Indicates whether the task can be invoked internally and/or externally. YES indicates that the task can only be invoked internally; NO indicates that the task can be invoked internally or externally.

DISABLED

Indicates whether the task is disabled when the system is started.

SAVE SCREEN

Indicates whether screen contents associated with the task are saved before an immediate-write data stream is written to the terminal.

STG LOC

Indicates whether programs that run under the task can reside anywhere in the DC/UCF region (ANY) or whether programs must reside below 16 megabytes (BELOW).

PROTOCOL

Indicates the response protocol to be used by the task when communicating with terminals associated with a VTAMLIN type line. Possible values are DEFRESP and EXPRESP.

RESOURCE TIMEOUT PROGRAM/ VERS

Identifies the name and version of the resource timeout program, which the system invokes to handle the resources owned by an inactive terminal following the expiration of the resource timeout interval.

RESOURCE TIMEOUT INTERVAL

Specifies the amount of time the system is to permit a terminal to be inactive before invoking the terminal resource program. SYSTEM directs the system to use the INTERVAL IS value specified on the RESOURCE TIMEOUT parameter of the SYSTEM system generation statement.

AREA ACQUIRE RETRY

Identifies the limit on the number of times the system will continue trying to gain access to all areas without accumulating area locks. FOREVER directs the system to keep trying until it acquires all areas or until operating system resource and time limits are exceeded. SYSTEM directs the system to use the value specified on the AREA ACQUISITION THRESHOLD parameter of the SYSTEM system generation statement.

AREA ACQUIRE THRESHOLD

Indicates the number of times, during ready processing, that the system will wait on an area lock before it starts to accumulate area locks for a transaction. OFF directs the system not to accumulate area locks. SYSTEM directs the system to use the values specified in the AREA ACQUISITION THRESHOLD parameter of the SYSTEM system generation statement.

MAX TASKS

Indicates the limit of maximum concurrent threads for a task. OFF indicates the system does not limit the number of concurrent threads.

INACTIVE INTERVAL

Indicates the amount of time the system is to permit an internal task to wait for a resource before abnormally terminating the task. SYSTEM directs the system to use the value specified on the INACTIVE INTERVAL parameter of the SYSTEM system generation statement.

RESOURCE LIMIT CALLS

Indicates the limit of system service calls (for example, OBTAIN CALC), that can be issued by an online task. SYSTEM directs the system to use the limit specified in the CALL LIMIT FOR ONLINE TASKS parameter on the SYSTEM system generation statement.

RESOURCE LIMIT DBIO

Indicates the limit of database I/O operations (reads and writes) that can be issued by an online task. SYSTEM directs the system to use the limit specified in the DBIO LIMIT FOR ONLINE TASKS parameter on the SYSTEM system generation statement.

RESOURCE LIMIT LOCKS

Indicates the limit of record locks allocated to an online task during the life of the task. SYSTEM directs the system to use the limit specified in the LOCK LIMIT FOR ONLINE TASKS parameter on the SYSTEM system generation statement.

RESOURCE LIMIT STORAGE

Indicates the limit of storage, in kilobytes, that an online task can hold at one time. SYSTEM directs the system to use the limit specified in the STORAGE LIMIT FOR ONLINE TASKS parameter on the SYSTEM system generation statement.

PRODUCT CODE

Indicates a generic name for a product and related task codes.

PRINT KEY

Indicates the print-screen key assignment. SYS directs the system to use the print key assignment specified on the PRINT KEY parameter of the SYSTEM system generation statement.

ON COMMIT

Specifies options that control commit behavior for the task. Valid values are:

WRITE COMT

Writes a COMT journal record.

WRITE ENDJ

Writes an ENDJ journal record.

NEW ID

Assigns a new local transaction ID.

RETain ID

Retains the existing local transaction ID.

ON ROLLBACK

Specifies options that control rollback behavior for tasks in this system. These options apply only to rollback operations in which the transaction is continued. Valid values are:

RETAIN ID

Retains the existing local transaction ID on a rollback.

NEW ID

Assigns a new local transaction ID on a rollback.

TRAN SHARING

Specifies whether to activate the Transaction Sharing option for the task or whether the option for the task is based on the SYSTEM statement (SYSTEM).
