Navigation

For additional information about:

How to limit the RCT entries displayed:
- To display all CICS DB2ENTRYs starting with VX, enter DB2ENTRY=VX* which shows VX01, VX05, VXAA, VXYZ, and so on.
- To display all plan names with any character in the third position, enter PLANNAME=YZ?PLAN which shows YZAPLAN, YZ2PLAN, YZQPLAN, and so on.
An RCT entry definition, move the cursor to one of the lines under DB2ENTRY and press F11 (Zoom). By default, all RCT entries for the region are displayed. For more information, see the description of panel CICS RCT Detail.
Other topics, use the PF keys.

DB2CONN Name

The RCT name in use by the CICS jobname.

Statistics Dest (SHDDEST)

The transient data destination used for the shutdown statistics when the attachment facility is stopped.

Error MSG Dest 1, 2, or 3 (ERRDEST)

The identifier of the DFHDCT destination for unsolicited error messages. As many as three destination IDs can be assigned.

Attachment Standby Mode

The attachment standby mode for this CICS region. Possible values are: STANDBY, CEX2STRT, CEX2TERM, DB2MAINT, MSBACTIV, RESYNC, or N/A.

CICS Auth Name (SIGNID)

The authorization ID used when the attachment connects to Db2.

THRD Purge Time Interval

Specifies the length of the protected thread purge cycle in the format: MINUTES : SECONDS.

Tasks on Ready Queue

The number of tasks that are on ready queue (waiting to be scheduled).

Maximum Threads (THRDMAX)

The maximum number of threads that can be created between CICS and DB2 within this RCT.

HWM Tasks on Ready Queue

The high-water mark (HWM) of tasks on ready queue.

Active MVS Subtasks

The number of MVS subtasks that are active.

Number of Free Connections

The number of free connections available.

HWM Active MVS Subtasks

The high-water mark (HWM) of MVS subtasks that are active.

Thread Error Action

The action that will be taken when thread is in error condition. Possible values: ABEND, N906D, N906, or N/A.

Connect Error Action

The action that will be taken when connection is failed. Possible values ABEND, SQLCODE, or N/A.

Thread Reuse Limit

The REUSELIMIT parameter specifies the maximum number of times a thread can be reused before it is terminated. This limit applies to all DB2 threads whether they are protected or unprotected. CICS42 and above.

Total Threads in POOL/ENT

Total threads in POOL and DB2ENTRYs. CICS52 and above.

DB2ENTRY

The identifier of a classification of transactions within this CICS job. When there are multiple transactions with the same RCT definition, this field will display the ID of the first transaction.

PLANNAME

The name of the specific plan for which you want to display statistical information. Use this field to reduce the number of lines displayed at the bottom of the panel.

The following fields are displayed for each command, entry, and pool RCT definition that exists within the resource control table.

DB2ENTRY: The identifier of a classification of transactions within this CICS job. When there are multiple transactions with the same RCT definition, this field displays the ID of the first transaction.
Calls: The number of Db2 calls generated by transactions that share an RCT definition since the attach facility was started.
Waits: The number of Db2 waits experienced by transactions that share an RCT definition since the attach facility was started.
Aborts: The number of aborts experienced by transactions that share an RCT definition since the attach facility was started.
THRDA: The maximum number of active threads for this RCT entry.
THRDS: The number of MVS TCBs that will be attached (for use by the RCT definition) to the transactions when the attach facility is started.
TCB Time: The CPU time (in seconds) used by transactions originating from this RCT definition. This time represents CP time only and does not include zIIP time.
REUSE: The number of times CICS transactions using DB2ENTRY were able to reuse an already created DB2 thread.
