CICS Monitors & Utilities

CICS system support programs are provided as part of a CICS install, tune-up, or annual support. The programs provide the following functions:

Message management
VSAM monitors
Monitors
Utility
Security interface
Timers

Terminal Autoinstaller

An extremely flexible VTAM terminal autoinstaller. Documentation can be found at the end of this section.

Monitors

SS23 -	User activity report. Displays user and terminal statistics and task information.
SS35 -	Program activity report. Displays statistics, AMODE, RMODE, and other information.
SS42 -	Terminal activity report. Displays statistics, and other terminal information.
SS51 -	CICS system status, storage and task activity. Also displays VSE GETVIS analysis.
SS52 -	Detailed task analysis. Storage, program, command, state. Also displays VSAM deadlock, CI lock, split waits, and keys of records as they are being processed.
SS59 -	Displays a report of GETVIS usage for the MVT/VSE operating system.

File Monitor Tools

SS34 -	File activity report. Displays statistics and file state.
SS62 -	Display file statistics, state, etc.
SS63 -	VSAM performance analyzer. Evaluates the performance of VSAM files. Data and index components are evaluated separately. Data can be saved from day to day.
SS64 -	Display VSAM file information such as CI sizes, freespace, etc.
SS65 -	Display VSAM file space utilization.
SS69 -	Issue a TCLOSE against the file. This allows VSAM statistics to be updated in the catalog without actually closing the file online. A batch or TSO LISTCAT can then be executed. Type SS69, space and a CICS file name.

Utilities

SS43 -	Bind Image Report Produces a report of all terminals. Displays features and bind information.
SS44 -	Terminal transmission response time analyzer. Measures how long various messages take to send and receive from CICS to a terminal. Displays response time and characters per second.
SS45 -	Bind Image Display Displays the terminal's NETNAME and BIND image. Also displays CICS and VTAM screen sizes. Useful for debugging auto terminal definition or other VTAM problems.

Message Management

SS10 -	Message Router This program intercepts CICS system and application messages. Messages are read from an intrapartition transient data queue or interval control queue and routed to one or more places based on options specified in a table. The CICS SYSID and queue name are added to the front of the message. This allows one message destination such as a printer to be shared by multiple CICS regions.
SS11 -	Console Message Writer (DOS Only) Writes messages to the system console using EXCP level I/O. This prevents CICS from hanging if the console becomes backlogged. Input can come from any intrapartition transient data queue, or can be passed via a START command, or a commarea can be passed via a LINK or XCTL command.
SS12 -	Message Display to Printer If started via the START command, the program retrieves a record. If it is an ATI task, this program performs a READQ TD. The record is sent to the attached terminal or printer.
SS15 -	Sequential Terminal Activator A PLTPI program to reactivate sequential terminals (SAMI, CRLP, etc.). The SAMI terminal is automatically placed out of service when the transactions are processed. This program reactivates SAMI during a warm start. This is needed since the TCT can no longer be cold started as of 1.7 of CICS.

Security and Logon

SS20 -	Also LOGO, a logon interface A user friendly replacement to CESN and CSSF. Prompts the user for a USERID and PASSWORD. After signon is accomplished the user is displayed a global mail message and other information. Also used to logoff and return to VTAM by typing LOGOF. If you type LOGOF and a VTAM APPLID the VTAM menu will be bypassed and control is given to the APPLID.
SS21 -	Set signon and WHO mail Used to set the global mail message for the LOGO and WHO transactions. When a user invokes a LOGO or WHO transaction, the global mail is displayed.
SS22 -	Also WHO, Terminal and User display Can be used as initial screen to CICS logon or invoked at any time by a user. Displays information about the terminal, system and user. Also displays the global mail message.

Logon and Logoff Exit

A program to provide interfaces to RACF, ACF2, Top Secret, or other security managers.

SS51 - System Status Display

Displays storage and task activity, timers, and other useful information. Also displays GETVIS usage for VSE/ESA systems. (SS59 may be used to check GETVIS for MVT/VSE systems)

SS52 - Transaction Analysis (shows keys of records, deadlocks, wait states, CI splits, etc.)

Displays a report of DSA and task detail activity. Task information includes storage, current program and command, state, ECB and other information. Displays VSAM deadlock, CI lock and split waits. Also displays keys of records as they are being processed. VSE DL/1 information includes DBD and segment name as well as keys. Last page of report contains instructions and options.

SS20 - Logon and Logoff (also LOGO)

A user friendly replacement to CESN and CSSF. Prompts the user for a USERID and PASSWORD. After signon is accomplished the user is displayed a global mail message and other information. Also used to logoff and return to VTAM by typing LOGOF. If LOGOF is followed by a VTAM APPLID the VTAM menu will be bypassed and control is given to the APPLID, providing a shortcut to another VTAM application.

CICS Terminal Autoinstall Program Version 1.3 Features

The MG Technologies terminal autoinstaller is used to automatically define terminals to CICS during user logon. This eliminates maintenance of most terminals since CICS terminal definitions are no longer required. It also substantially reduces memory since only those terminals that are in use are actually defined to the CICS region. Maintenance is also drastically reduced in an MRO/ISC environment. Here are some of the features of the MG Technologies autoinstaller:

* The selection logic works at all current PTF levels of CICS 1.7, 2.1 and 3.x without modification! This allows us to provide upgrades easier. It also eliminates any concern when PTFs or a refresh is applied.

* Four selectable name generation options and provisions for custom code. The four generation options are: 1 - use last four characters of netname, 2 - use first four characters of netname, 3- use any four positions of netname, 4 - generate a number from 0000 to 9999 during logon. The custom name generation option is code unique to your company.

* A single table to optionally cross reference netname and CICS terminal ID, and to assign printers by netname or CICS terminal ID.

* Table macro checks for duplicate netnames or CICS terminal IDs.

- Support for all standard 3270 screen sizes: 12x40, 24x80, 32x80, 43x80, 27x132 as long as the MG Technologies supplied models are used. Model one (12x40) support does not require changes to source code.

- Support for color and hilight-only terminals as long as the MG Technologies supplied models are used.

- Support for all valid model 1 and model 2 bind images. (X'01' and X'02' screen sizes).

* LUTYPE1 terminals are supported by selecting the first model.

* If only one model is passed from CICS, the autoinstaller accepts that model so the terminal logon will not fail due to no model selected. This is useful when non-3270 type terminals are autoinstalled.

- Can run in 31 bit addressing and runmode. This is useful if you have a large terminal options table. The table can be placed above the 16M line.

- Diagnostic messages are activated by CECI and viewed by CEBR. They are also written to a special transient data queue.

- Diagnostic and error messages assist in implementation and problem analysis.

* Expanded bind information. The bind information includes the RU sizes and PSERVIC.
