CGBLEXIT

CICS global user exits

New data fields:

• EPL - The address of the EPL control block.
• EPB - The address of the EPB control block.

CICSLIST

CICS regions

Updated data fields:

• Status - The current monitoring status

  New possible value:

  • ACTIVEX - The CICS monitor is active.

    A different instance of the product is monitoring the CICS. This instance could be a different product subsystem or release.

  Possible Execution Stages:

  • Executing
  • Shutdown stage 1 or 2

New data fields:

• GApplid - The CICS generic application ID.

CICSSET

• datatype - Data definition type "GROUPS" has been removed.

Syntax:

CICSSET EXPORT    datatype

• datatype - Data definition type "GROUPS" has been removed.

Syntax:

CICSSET SAVE      datatype

• datatype - Data definition type "GROUPS" has been removed.

CMODS

CICS data collection modules

New data fields:

• Count - Module use count
• Size - Module size

CPROGRAM

CICS program statistics

New data fields:

• Count - Module use count
• Size - Module size

CREVIEW

CICS transaction activity

New data fields:

• Bundle - The library name for the bundle.
• Application - The application name.
• Operation - The operation name.
• Platform - The platform name.
• Major - The major version.
• Minor - The minor version.
• Micro - The micro version.
• PPTE64 - The address of the PPTE64 control block.
• IAE - The address of the IAE control block.

CSTATES

CICS State Definitions

CSYSDMON

CICS degradation wait analysis

New information section fields:

• Clocktime - The amount of wall clock time the job has been executing.
• GSVITime - The elapsed time from the start of the data collector.
• CPUTime - The amount of consumed CPU time by the CICS address space from the start of the data collector.

New data fields:

• Enqueues - Enqueue count
• EnqDLAR - Enqueue count – Datalib
• EnqDSPR - Enqueue count - DataSpace
• EnqMSGR - Enqueue count - Messaging
• EnqSTGR - Enqueue count - Storage
• EnqVSPR - Enqueue count - Virtual storage

CWAITS

CICS degradation wait analysis

Changed data fields:

• Pct - The percentage of lifetime that was spent in the corresponding activity. This information is also presented in graph form. If the metric is CPU-related, the percentage is based on the total CPU time the transaction used.

Commands Removed (CICS)

The CGROUPS, CICS logical groups, command has been removed and replaced with the GROUPS command. The synonym CGROUPS has been created for GROUPS.

Logical group definitions are no longer maintained for a specific CICS region. The definitions have been merged into the common set of logical groups that CA SYSVIEW maintains.

Definitions can be defined in the parmlib member GROUPS or using the online command GROUPS.
