Fields on the COF CICS Connection Display Panel

The COF CICS Connection Display panel has the following fields:

Active Connections

Indicates the total number of currently active CICS connections.

System

Specifies the name of the remote system on which you want to display or modify the connections that exist between a remote copy of CA OPS/MVS and CICS. The remote system must be active and defined to the MSF. An asterisk (*) stands for the local system; this is the default.

Wait

Specifies the maximum time to wait for a response from a remote system. You can specify a range from 1 to 300 seconds.

Default: The value of the MSFSYSWAIT parameter

CICSAOF

Indicates the current value of the CICSAOF parameter, which controls CICS message traffic to the AOF. You can update the value of the CICSAOF parameter directly on the COF CICS Connection Display panel. If the value of CICSAOF is NO, no CICS transient data messages are sent to the AOF for processing.

Jobname

Indicates the one- to eight-character job name of the CICS region.

Stepname (optional)

Indicates the one- to eight-character step name of the CICS region (or task ID for a started task). If the connection is active, the step name or task ID of the CICS region always appears here, even if the original connection definition did not include a step name.

Req

Contains a flag indicating whether a match on Stepname is required:

• Y-When the list of transient data queue names was defined, a step name was included in its definition. To use the list, the step name of the CICS region (which appears in the Stepname field), must match the value that was specified when the list was defined.
• N-The step name is informational only; no match is required.

Status

Indicates the status of the CICS connection. If the value is ACTIVE, the CICS region is using the connection; if the value is INACTIVE, the connection is not in use.

Origin

Indicates the origin of the list. A value of DEFINED indicates that the list was generated through an ADDRESS OPSCTL COF DEFINE command. A value of DEFAULT indicates that a CICS region built this destination name list by copying the DEFAULT list.

Applid

Displays the VTAM application ID if the value of the Status field is ACTIVE.

Sysid

Displays the CICS system name if the value of the Status field is ACTIVE.

Asid

Displays the CICS address space ID if the value of the Status field is ACTIVE.

Destids

Indicates the total number of transient data queue names in the intercept list.

Msg Count

Indicates the total number of messages this CICS region intercepted for AOF processing.
