CICSplex Event Processing Details attribute group

The CICSplex Event Processing Details attribute group displays information about CICS event processing. CICS event processing can emit events at a number of clearly defined points, known as capture points. You can think of a capture point as an opportunity for an event to be emitted.

You can use event processing in many ways, such as to detect customer trends or to detect abnormalities in patterns of customer behavior to identify potential irregular or fraudulent situations.

Captured events The total number of captured events during event processing. This total amount is an integer with a maximum of eight characters.

Capture Point Name The name of the capture point event specification. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 32 characters.

Capture Point Type The type of capture point event specification used during event processing. These are the valid type values:

• PRECOMMAND 1
• POSTCOMMAND 2
• PROGRAMINIT 3

Capture Specification The name of the capture specification used during event processing. The capture specification is the capture point, capture data, and predicates for filtering. The capture specification includes information describing how to obtain the emitted business information from the data available for capture. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 32 characters.

CICS Region Name 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.

Event Binding The name of the XML definition that defines one or more business events to the CICS application. Event binding consists of event specifications, capture specifications, and adapter dispatcher information. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 32 characters.

Event Name The event processing name associated with the capture point specification. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 32 characters.

Origin Node 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.

System ID 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.
