Configuration Options—Parmlib Member CICSOPTS

The configuration options member CICSOPTS has been enhanced to include the following options:

ABEND-DUMP-DFHABND

This option can be modified after initialization through the CCONFIG or CICSSET commands.

If a CICS transaction abends, the contents of the CICS DFHABND control block can be dumped to the ddname GSVCLOG. This option can be used to assist with debugging.

Default: No

Valid values are:

• No - Do not dump DFHABND contents.
• Yes - Dump DFHABND contents.

MONITOR-RESTORE-SETTINGS

Specified if the CICS monitoring functions are activated during initialization.

This option can be modified after initialization through the CCONFIG or CICSSET commands.

The activation is control using the following options:

PERFORMANCE-COLLECTION

CICS monitoring.

SIT: MN

Parm: ON

MONITOR-CONVERSE

Monitoring converse recording

SIT: MNCONV

Parm: YES

MONITOR-EXCEPTIONS

Monitoring exception class

SIT: MNEXC

Parm: ON

MONITOR-PERFORMANCE

Monitoring performance class

SIT: MNPER

Parm: ON

During termination of the CICS data collector, the states of the CICS monitoring components can be restored to their original state.

Valid values:

• Yes - Restore CICS monitor components to their original state.
• No - Do not restore.

Default: Yes

Related options:

• MONITOR-CONVERSE
• MONITOR-EXCEPTIONS
• MONITOR-PERFORMANCE
• PERFORMANCE-COLLECTION

PERFORMANCE-DATA-EXIT-TS

Specifies if the unique program that made the request collects the DB2 segments.

This option can be modified after initialization through the CCONFIG or CICSSET commands.

This option controls the collection of data made available using CICS global user exits related to the following CICS domain:

• TS - Temporary Storage Domain

The following related options are required:

PERFORMANCE-COLLECTION

Yes

PERFORMANCE-GLOBAL-EXIT-TS

Yes

Detailed performance information regarding the overhead that is associated with this option can be viewed using the online command: CGBLEXIT.

Valid values:

• Yes - Collect data.
• No - Do not collect data.

Default: Yes

Related options:

• PERFORMANCE-DATA-SEGLIMIT-TS
• PERFORMANCE-GLOBAL-EXIT-TS
• PERFORMANCE-LOG-TEMPSTOR

TRANSACTION-ACTIVITY-PERSISTENT

Transaction summary statistics are collected and summarized on a 1-minute interval. The interval statistics are maintained for the last 24 hours. The data is a "rolling" 24 hour period and not for the current day. The information can be maintained across restarts of the data collector and restarts of the CICS region.

The online command CREVIEW displays this information.

Default: No

Valid values are:

• No - Does not maintain statistics across restarts.
• Restart - Maintains statistics across the restarts of the data collection in a single CICS region execution.
• Yes - Maintains statistics across restarts of the data collection and across multiple executions of the CICS region.

If statistics are being maintained across restarts of any type, the data is saved as a member in the persistent data store PDSE data set.

Persistent Data Store Information:

• DataId - GSVCACTV_jobname
• Size - 180 KB
• ReUse - Data is loaded and reused from matching builds only.
• Migration - Data members from your prior builds can be deleted when that product build is no longer being used.

TSF-ENABLE

Specify if you want performance data sent to the CA Chorus Timer Series Facility for integration with the CA Chorus Infrastructure Management for Networks and Systems.

You can modify this option after initialization through the CCONFIG or CICSSET commands.

Default: Yes

Required Scheduler Events:

• TSF-SYSTEM
• TSF-TRANS

Valid values are:

• Yes - Enable performance data integration. Integration can only be enabled or set to Yes during initialization through the CICSOPTS parmlib member.
• No - Disable performance data integration. Integration can be dynamically disabled at any time.

Related options:

• TSF-TASKID

TSF-TASKID

Specify the task ID of the Time Series Facility logger task executing in the SYSVIEW Main Services address space that sends data to the TSF server.

This option can be modified after initialization through the CCONFIG or CICSSET commands.

The following related options are required:

• TSF-ENABLE - Specify to enable the Time Series Facility data collection.
• TSF-TASKID - Specify the task ID of the Time Series Facility task executing in the CA SYSVIEW Main Services address space that sends data to the TSF server.

Specify to collect the transaction degradation analysis information. This information is displayed online using the CWAITS command.

This option is always collected in release 13.7.

SYSTEM-DB2

Specify if the system data collection is to collect on an interval basis DB2 information.

This information is collected if present in release 13.7.
