Temporary Storage Summary workspace

The Temporary Storage Summary workspace allows you to monitor the number of times that temporary-storage limits have been reached and therefore their potential performance impact on your CICS® regions.

This predefined workspace contains the following views:

  • The Shared Pool Status bar chart compares the number of defined and connected pools
  • The Auxiliary Resource Use bar chart diagrams your transactions' use of auxiliary VSAM data sets
  • The Temporary Storage Summary table view provides information about shared and auxiliary temporary storage queues

The table view of the storage queues that can be accessed by multiple CICS jobs includes these details:

  • Shows you how many shared pools are defined and connected
  • Provides information on read and write activity
  • Displays the number of control intervals (CIs), transient data strings, and temporary storage strings being used by the transient (DFHINTRA) and the auxiliary temporary storage (DFHTEMP) data sets
