Cipher: Statistics

You can retrieve cipher statistics by using the EXEC CICS PERFORM STATISTICS CIPHER command. They are mapped by the DFHSOCDS DSECT. Cipher statistics are not available online.

For more information about using these statistics for removing ciphers, see Changing TLS protocol level or ciphers safely.

Table 1. Cipher: Statistics
DFHSTUP name Field name Description
Number SOC_CIPHER The cipher code.

Reset characteristic: no reset

TLS Inbound SOC_TIMES_CICSTLS_INB_USED The total number of times the cipher is selected for newly established inbound CICS®-configured TLS connections through TCPIPSERVICE with SSL(YES) or SSL(CLIENTAUTH).

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

TLS Outbound SOC_TIMES_CICSTLS_OUTB_USED The total number of times the cipher is selected for newly established outbound CICS-configured TLS connections through URIMAP with USAGE(CLIENT) SCHEME(HTTPS) or WEB OPEN SCHEME(HTTPS).

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

AT-TLS Inbound SOC_TIMES_ATTLS_INB_USED The total number of times the cipher is selected for newly established inbound AT-TLS connections through TCPIPSERVICE with SSL(ATTLSAWARE) or SSL(NO).

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

AT-TLS Outbound SOC_TIMES_ATTLS_OUTB_USED The total number of times the cipher is selected for newly established outbound AT-TLS connections, which can come from URIMAP with USAGE(CLIENT) SCHEME(HTTP) or WEB OPEN SCHEME(HTTP).

Reset characteristic: reset to zero
