Terminal control: Summary resource statistics

Terminal control summary resource statistics are not available online.

Table 1. Terminal control: Summary resource statistics
DFHSTUP name Description
Term Id is the identifier of each terminal, which may have been statically defined, autoinstalled, or generated from the SESSIONS definition for a connection.
LUname is the terminal LU name.
Terminal Type is the terminal type as defined in the TCT. For information about terminal types and their codes, see ASSIGN TERMCODE.
Acc Meth is the terminal access method as defined in the TCT. This may be “SNA1”, “MRO”, “GAM”, “SNA2”, “BSAM”, or “VTAM®” (now z/OS® Communications Server). For more information about access methods and their codes, see the DFHTCTTE DSECT.
Conn ID is the last value found for the owning connection name for this terminal/session.
No. of Xactions is the number of transactions, both conversational and pseudoconversational, that were started at this terminal. The transaction count is less than input messages if conversational transactions are being used.

When the operator signs off, the transaction count is not reset. At this time, message DFHSN1200 is issued containing the transaction count for that operator.

Xaction Errors is the number of transactions associated with this particular terminal that could not be started. This could mean that a transaction identifier has not been defined in the CSD data set, or that the operator does not have the proper security to enter the transaction, or that the transaction has been disabled.

When the operator signs off, the transaction error count is not reset. At this time, message DFHSN1200 is issued containing the transaction error count for that operator.

Storage Viols is the number of storage violations that have occurred on this terminal.
Input Messages See note.
Output Messages See note.
Xmission Errors is the number of errors for this terminal, or the number of disconnects for this session.
Pipeline Message: Avg TIOA Storage is the average TIOA storage used by this terminal.
Pipeline Message: Avg logged on time is the average logged on time for an autoinstalled terminal/session. This field is blank if the terminal/session is not autoinstalled.
Note: Input messages and output messages are the amount of message activity per terminal. Input and output messages should represent the message traffic between CICS® and the terminal. Input traffic should be the result of operator initiated input: that is, initial transaction input or input as a result of a conversational read to the terminal. Output messages should be output written by the application program or messages sent by CICS.

Input and output messages can vary because of differences in the application program being used on different terminals. ATI-initiated transactions would typically not have terminal input but could result in one or many output messages. A batch oriented terminal could initiate a single transaction that did multiple reads to the terminal resulting in multiple input messages. The differences between the remote and local terminal counts may be a result of different applications that run on them. Otherwise, they should be similar.
