Service Task Details workspace

The Service Task Details workspace monitors the service task within the OMEGAMON® agent that must be running for OMEGAMON for CICS® on z/OS® to provide information about several CICS components.

This workspace includes some of the following information:

  • Common Interface information
  • OMEGAMON initialization status
  • Application trace status
  • DEXAN status
  • RLIM status
  • ONDV status
  • Web services
  • Work requests
  • WLM blocks usage
  • CICSPlex defined name and source

The predefined Service Task Details workspace contains the following views:

  • The Message Log table view shows the status, the ID, the name, the display item, Origin node, Global Time stamp and the Local times for each message.
  • The OMEGAMON Service Task Diagnostics table view returns data relating to the status of the OMEGAMON agent. It displays the CICS region name, the defined CICSPlex name, the source of the defined CICSPlex name, agent's initialization status, Global Data Area, XMIT DD name, and name of the common interface started task. The service task execution result tells you if the last request serviced completed successfully. If this workspace tells you the service task is not running, you need to check your agent installation and configuration.
    The CICS region name, which is being monitored by OMEGAMON CICS, can be classified into a CICSPlex. The CICSPlex definition is obtained from CPSM, and the OMEGAMON value. If these sources are not available, the OMEGPLEX default value is used. The CICSPlex name can be the OMEGPLEX default value or the eight character CICSPLEX_NAME=aaaaaaaa that you defined in your global data parameter. The source of the defined CICSPlex name can be one of the following values:
    • CPSM
    • Default
    • OMEGAMON
  • The OMEGAMON WLM Blocks Usage view displays data on the number of WLM blocks requested, the current percentage in use for transaction records, the peak percentage of usage for transaction records, the current percentage of WLM storage in use for the accumulated summary records, and the peak percentage of WLM storage in use for the accumulated summary records.

    The attributes current percentage values have their thresholds set to turn Red for values greater or equal to 70% and the peak percentage is set to turn Red for values greater or equal to 80%.
