CICSplex BTS Container Details attribute group

The CICSplex BTS Container Details attribute group returns details of data-container of specific CICS business transaction services (BTS) objects. Other BTS details can be monitored, for example, activities, data-containers, events, processes, process-types, and timers.

Activity identifier Specifies the name (1-16 characters) of the activity that owns the container. This must be a child of the current activity.

CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case-sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.

Container Address Is the address of the associated container.

Container Length Returns the length of the data in the container.

Container Name Is the name (1-16 characters) of the container that holds the data to be retrieved.

Origin Node Is the combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.

When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.

Process Type Is the name of the process-type. The length of the name can be 1-8 characters. Each process-type maps to a VSAM data set (the repository), on which information about processes of the named type is stored.

Process Name Specifies the name (1-36 characters) to identify the new process (business transaction instance). The name is unique within the BTS repository data set on which details of the process are to be stored.

System ID Indicates the four-character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum four characters, and case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.
