Transaction Manager Statistics workspace

The Transaction Manager Statistics workspace monitors the number of tasks in your CICS® regions. By using this data you can monitor the number of tasks compared with the MAXTASK value.

Use this workspace to do the following tasks:

  • Set a Threshold to warn when the MAXTASK value is being reached.
  • Define a situation that increases the MAXTASK value when the number of Tasks is close to the MAXTASK limit.

The predefined Transaction Manager Statistics workspace contains these views:

  • The CICS Backlog Monitor graph shows the Current MAXTASK value, active user transactions, queued transactions and the peak user transactions. Using this graph you can see the relationship between the number of active transactions and when that number approaches the MAXTASK value.
  • The Transaction Manager Statistics table view shows the following information:
    • The current MAXTASK value and the number of active, queued transactions for each region.
    • Peak and total active user transactions
    • Peak and total queued user transactions
    • The suspended transaction and system transaction count.
    • The average MAXTASK queuing time, the average current queuing time, the total MAXTASK time, and the current MAXTASK time.
