CICSplex Response Time Elements attribute group

The CICSplex Response Time Elements attributes help you determine response times for all members of either a single OMEGAMON group, or for all defined groups. Data displays for only those groups that have registered activity within the last nine minutes. Use the CICSplex Response Time Elements attributes in situations to customize the display of critical and warning lights based on specified response time thresholds.

These attributes provide data for the Response Time Elements table views.

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.

Element Identifier Is the name assigned to a terminal, to a program, to a transaction, or to a logical unit. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters.

Element Type Is the resource associated with the element. These are the valid values:

  • Terminal
  • Logical Unit
  • Program
  • Transaction

Exceeds RTA Threshold Indicates whether or not the response time threshold stored in the OMEGAMON group definition has been exceeded. These are the enumerated values: Yes and No.

Group Number Is the numeric identifier of the OMEGAMON group. The valid format is an integer, with a maximum of two digits.

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.

Response Component Is the type of response time measurement used for the element. Transactions, programs, and terminals display the internal CICS response time, while logical units, broken down into host and network figures, present the end-to-end response time. These are the valid values:

  • CICS
  • End-to-End
  • Host
  • Network

Response Time Is the average element response time for the current one-minute interval. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 1 Minute Ago Is the average element response time for the previous one-minute interval. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 2 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired two minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 3 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired three minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 4 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired four minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 5 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired five minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 6 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired six minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 7 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired seven minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 8 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired eight minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

Response Time 9 Minutes Ago Is the average element response time for the one-minute interval that expired nine minutes ago. The value is measured to two decimal places. The value can be entered in the HH:MM:SS.DD format, for example, 00:20:00.56 or as SSSSSSS.DD, for example, 1200.56. If you are using variable substitution, the value in this example would display as 120056.

System ID Indicates the SMF identifier that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system. The valid format is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of four characters.
