CICSplex BTS Activity Details attribute group
The CICSplex BTS Activity Details attribute group returns the activity details of specific CICS business transaction services (BTS) objects. Other BTS details can be monitored, for example, activities, data containers, events, processes, process types, and timers.
Abend Code Indicates the abend code, if the activity terminated abnormally.
Abending Program Indicates name of the program that was in control at the time of the abend, if the activity terminated abnormally.
Activity Name Indicates the name of the current activity.
Activity Identifier Specifies the name of the activity.
Activity Tree Level Is the depth in the activity-tree at which the next activity lies.
CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case-sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.
Composite Is the Sub-Event name (if present).
Completion status Indicates the completion status of the activity. These are the values:
- Unknown
- No activity has been identified.
- Abend
- The program that implements the activity terminated. Any children of the activity have been canceled.
- Forced
- The activity was forced to complete, for example, it was canceled with a CANCEL ACTIVITY command.
- Incomplete
- The named activity is incomplete. This could mean:
- That it has not yet been run
- That it has returned from one or more activations but needs to be reattached in order to complete all its processing steps
- That it is currently active.
- Normal
- The named activity completed successfully.
Event Name Is the name of the completion event that is sent to the requester of this activity when the activity completes asynchronously with the requester.
Event Type Is the type of the Event associated with the Activity. These are the values:
- Unknown
- No event associated with this type.
- Activity
- Activity completion.
- Composite
- Composite.
- Input
- Input.
- System
- System.
- Timer
- Timer.
Fire Status Is the status of the event associated with the activity. These are the values:
- Unknown
- Not applicable.
- Fired
- The event has fired typically.
- Not_fired
- The event has not fired.
Suspend status Is the suspension status of the activity. These are the values:
- Unknown
- Not applicable.
- Suspended
- The activity has been suspended.
- Not_suspended
- The activity has not been suspended.
Mode Indicates the current state (mode) of the activity. These are the values:
- Unknown
- Not applicable.
- Active
- An activation of the activity is running.
- Cancelling
- CICS is waiting to cancel the activity. A CANCEL ACTIVITY command has been issued, but CICS cannot cancel the activity immediately because one or more of the activity's children are inaccessible. No further operations on the activity are permitted until it has been canceled.
- Complete
- The activity has completed, either successfully or unsuccessfully. The value returned on the COMPSTATUS option tells you how it completed.
- Dormant
- The activity is waiting for an event to fire its next activation.
- Initial
- No RUN or LINK command has yet been issued against the activity; or the activity has been reset by means of a RESET ACTIVITY command.
Origin Node Is the combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.
When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.
Predicate indicates, if the named event is composite, the Boolean operator applied to its predicate. These are the values:
- Unknown
- Not applicable.
- AND
- The Boolean operator applied to the predicate is AND.
- OR
- The Boolean operator applied to the predicate is OR.
Process Name Specifies the name (1-36 characters) to identify the new process (business transaction instance). The name is unique within the BTS repository data set on which details of the process are to be stored.
Process Type Is the name of the process-type. The length of the name can be 1-8 characters. Each process-type maps to a VSAM data set (the repository), on which information about processes of the named type is stored.
Program Name Returns the eight-character name of the program that executes when this activity is run.
System ID Indicates the four-character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters, and case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.
Transaction ID Is the name of the transaction under which this activity runs.
Timer Name Is the name of the Timer associated with the current activity.
Timer Status Is the status of the event timer. These are the values:
- Unknown
- Not applicable.
- Expired
- The timer expired typically.
- Forced
- Expiry of the timer was forced by means of a FORCE TIMER command.
- Unexpired
- The timer has not yet expired.
Timer value Is the absolute time value for the timer associated with the current activity.
User Id Is the identifier of the user under whose authority this activity runs.
