CICSplex Region Dataset Analysis attribute group

The CICSplex Region Dataset Analysis attributes report on the internal resources of CICS regions.

Active Strings Is the current number of updates against the data set.

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.

Concatenation Number Is the data set concatenation number as specified in the Job JCL.

Data Set Disposition Is the Data Set Disposition.

Data Set Name Is the name of data set allocated to the CICS region.

Data Set Type Is the type of data set.

DDNAME Is the DDNAME as specified in region JCL.

File Access Returns a value identifying the access method used with this data set. These are the values:

BDAM

The access method is BDAM.

NOTAPPLIC

The data set has not been opened by the CICS region in which the command is issued.

VSAM

The access method is VSAM.

File Attributes Specifies whether the file is to be accessed in RLS mode. The file must be closed, and either disabled or unenabled, to change the access mode to RLS access or to non-RLS access. The non-RLS mode becomes either LSR or NSR, depending on the value specified for LSRPOOLID in the file resource definition.

Number of Strings Is the number of VSAM strings allocated.

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.

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.

Volser Is the volume serial number of the data set.

VSAM Enable status Is the enable status of a VSAM file.

VSAM Open Status Is the Open/Close status of a VSAM file.
