Using the Product in a CICS Environment › CICS Idle Time

CICS Idle Time

Idle Time is defined as follows:

Idle Time = Monitor Interval - Sum of (Dispatch Time for user tasks in this Interval)

This could be expressed as the time spent by CICS in the given Monitor Interval not performing user work.

User tasks are defined as all tasks not flagged by CICS as system tasks.

To obtain CICS Idle Time on the TranView panel, enter the primary command IDL.
