Dispatcher report

The Dispatcher report is produced using a combination of the EXEC CICS INQUIRE SYSTEM and EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS DISPATCHER commands. The statistics data is mapped by the DFHDSGDS DSECT.

Table 1. Fields in the Dispatcher Report
Field Heading Description
Current ICV time The current interval control value, expressed in milliseconds.

Source field: DSGICVT

Current ICVR time The current task runaway time interval, expressed in milliseconds.

Source field: DSGICVRT

Current ICVTSD time The current terminal scan delay value, expressed in milliseconds. With SNA and IPIC networks, the default ICVTSD value of 0 is appropriate.

Source field: DSGICVSD

Current PRTYAGING time The current task priority aging factor.

Source field: DSGPRIAG

MRO (QR) Batching (MROBTCH) value The number of events that must ocur before CICS® is posted for dispatch due to the batching mechanism, as specified in the MROBTCH value in the SIT.

Source field: DSGMBTCH

Concurrent Subtasking (SUBTSKS) value The number of task control blocks (TCBs) that CICS can use for running tasks in concurrent mode, as specified in the SUBTSKS SIT parameter.

Source field: DSGSTSKS

Current number of CICS Dispatcher tasks The current number of tasks in the system. This figure includes all system tasks and all user tasks.

Source field: DSGCNT

Peak number of CICS Dispatcher tasks The peak number of tasks concurrently in the system.

Source field: DSGPNT

Current number of TCBs attached The current number of TCBs attached for this CICS address space.

Source field: DSGTCBCA

Current number of TCBs in use The number of CICS TCBs in use.

Source field: DSGTCBCU

Last Excess TCB Scan The date and time of the last CICS dispatcher excess MVS TCB scan.

If the DFH0STAT report shows the date and time as --/--/---- --:--:--:---- then that indicates that an excess TCB scan has not happened yet.

Source field: DSGLXSCN

Reset characteristic: not reset

Number of Excess TCB Scans The number of excess TCB scans performed by the CICS dispatcher.

Source field: DSGXSCNS

Last Excess TCB scan — No TCB Detached

The date and time of the last CICS dispatcher excess MVS TCB scan that did not detach any TCBs.

If the DFH0STAT report shows the date and time as --/--/---- --:--:--:---- then that indicates that an excess TCB scan has not happened yet.

Source field: DSGLXSND

Reset characteristic: not reset

Excess TCB scans — No TCB Detached The number of excess TCB scans performed by the CICS dispatcher during which no CICS TCBs were detached.

Source field: DSGXSCNN

Number of Excess TCBs Detached The number of CICS TCBs that were detached by the CICS dispatcher during excess TCB scans.

Source field: DSGXTCBD

Average Excess TCBs Detached per Scan The average number of CICS TCBs that were detached by the CICS dispatcher during each excess TCB scan.

Source field: DSGXTCBD / DSGXSCNS

Number of CICS TCB MODEs The number of CICS TCB modes for this CICS address space.

Source field: DSGASIZE

Number of CICS TCB POOLs The number of CICS TCB pools for this CICS address space.

Source field: DSGPSIZE
