Dispatcher domain: Global statistics

You can retrieve dispatcher domain global statistics by using the EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS DISPATCHER command. They are mapped by the DFHDSGDS DSECT.

Table 1. Dispatcher domain: Global statistics
DFHSTUP name Field name Description
Dispatcher Start Date and Time DSGLSTRT The date and time at which the CICS® dispatcher started. This value can be used as an approximate time at which CICS started. The DFHSTUP report expresses this time as day/month/year hours:minutes:seconds.decimals; however, the DSECT field contains the time as a store clock (STCK) value in local time.

Reset characteristic: not reset

NOT IN DFHSTUP REPORT DSGSTART The time at which the dispatcher started. This value can be used as an approximate time at which CICS started. The DFHSTUP report expresses this time as hours:minutes:seconds.decimals; however, the DSECT field contains the time as a store clock (STCK) value in GMT.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Address Space CPU Time DSGEJST The total CPU time for all TCBs in this address space, accumulated during the interval. The DFHSTUP report expresses this as days-hours:minutes:seconds.decimals.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Address Space SRB Time DSGSRBT The total CPU time for all service request blocks (SRB) executed in this address space, accumulated during the interval. The DFHSTUP report expresses this as days-hours:minutes:seconds.decimals.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

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

Reset characteristic: not reset

Peak number of dispatcher tasks DSGPNT The peak value of the number of dispatcher tasks concurrently in the system.

Reset characteristic: reset to current value

Current ICV time (msec) DSGICVT The ICV time value (expressed in milliseconds) specified in the SIT, or as an override, or changed dynamically using the EXEC CICS SET SYSTEM TIME(fullword binary data-value) command.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Current ICVR time (msec) DSGICVRT The ICVR time value (expressed im milliseconds) specified in the SIT, or as an override, or changed dynamically using the EXEC CICS SET SYSTEM TIME(fullword binary data-value) command.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Current ICVTSD time (msec) DSGICVSD The ICVTSD time value (expressed in milliseconds) specified in the SIT, or as an override, or changed dynamically using the EXEC CICS SET SYSTEM SCANDELAY(fullword binary data-value) command.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Current PRTYAGE time (msec) DSGPRIAG The PRTYAGE time value (expressed in milliseconds) specified in the SIT, or as an override, or changed dynamically using the EXEC CICS SET SYSTEM AGING(fullword binary data-value) command.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Current MRO (QR) Batching (MROBTCH) value DSGMBTCH The MROBTCH value specified in the SIT, or as an override, or changed dynamically using the EXEC CICS SET SYSTEM MROBATCH(fullword binary data-value) command.

Reset characteristic: not reset

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

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

Reset characteristic: not reset

Number of Excess TCB Scans DSGXSCNS The number of CICS dispatcher excess MVS TCB scans.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Last Excess TCB Scan–No TCB Detached DSGLXSND The date and time of the last CICS dispatcher excess MVS TCB scan that did not detach any TCBs.

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

Reset characteristic: not reset

Number of Excess TCB Scans–No TCB Detached DSGXSCNN The number of excess MVS TCB scans that resulted in no MVS TCBs being detached by the CICS dispatcher.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Number of Excess TCBs Detached DSGXTCBD The total number of MVS TCBs that have been detached by the CICS dispatcher's excess MVS TCB management processing.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Average Excess TCBs Detached per Scan Not Applicable The average number of MVS TCBs that have been detached by each scan of the CICS dispatcher's excess MVS TCB management processing.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Number of CICS TCB MODEs DSGASIZE The current number of CICS TCB modes in which the CICS dispatcher is managing MVS task control blocks (TCBs) in the system.

Reset characteristic: not reset

Number of CICS TCB POOLs DSGPSIZE The number of TCB pools in which the CICS dispatcher is managing MVS task control blocks (TCBs) in the system under which the CICS dispatcher runs.
