File Control Summary workspace
The File Control Summary workspace provides a summary of activity and the properties of the files in your CICS® regions.
From this workspace you can compare the number of active strings with the number of available strings. You can set a threshold to provide an alert when the number of active strings approaches the number of available strings. You can then increase the number of strings using the Take Action feature to issue a CEMT SET FILE command.
You can use the links to examine more details of each file. Select the row in the File Control Summary table, right-click, and select one of four workspace links.
The predefined File Control Summary workspace contains the following views:
- File String Utilization bar chart. This compares the active strings with the number of strings for each file.
- File Control Summary table view displays the access method, status (open and enable), type of file, record file format, remote system (if the file is remote), the number of active strings, the total number of strings defined for each file and the number of string waits per file.
From this workspace you can link to the following workspaces:
