CICS Task Program Detail Control
The CICS Task Program Detail Control workspace allows you to control how IBM® Z OMEGAMON® for CICS® collects task program details. With this feature, IBM Z OMEGAMON for CICS provides statistics about each program that has executed in the course of a task.
Task Program Detail Status for CICS
This feature is typically requested via the IBM Z OMEGAMON for CICS Global Data area. The CICS Task Program Detail Control panel allows you to update the requested settings for an active CICS region. Changes made here are not permanent; they last only until the CICS region is recycled.
- From the All Active CICSplexes panel (the CICS tab on the OMEGAMON Products panel), select a CICSplex from the CICSplex Name column.
- Find the CICS region you want to work with, on the CICSples Regions Summary panel, and enter C to the left of the region name; this brings up the CICS Control Functions menu.
- Select T CICS Task Program Detail Control to bring up the CICS Task Program Detail Control panel.
This option collects usage information about each EXEC CICS program the task has used. This information details the metrics for the time when the program was in control. If a program Links to another program, that second program is assumed to be in control, and metrics are no longer collected for the first program until control returns to it.
This option will allow users to see the metrics for program usage across the entire CICS region. These metrics are accumulated as of when the task ends. Looking at programs used within a CICS region, the Used tab will show the collective metrics for all programs which have had data collected since the region started or program manager statistics were reset.
This option will record the collected program data for a task to Task History. This will provide the Programs tab when looking at the details for a task. This will provide information about all programs used during the time covered by the history record.
This option will record the collected information to SMF. The data can then be processed offline by utilities such as IBM CICS Performance Analyzer.
