CICSplex Transaction EIB Summary attribute group

The CICSplex Transaction EIB Summary attributes report on the information stored in the EXEC Interface Block created by CICS to satisfy the application program's EXEC CICS command. Use the CICSplex Transaction EIB Summary attributes to help identify a looping transaction. For example, a constant program name and offset combination for a single EXEC CICS command signifies a looping transaction.

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.

EIB Date and Time Indicates the date and time at which the current or last EXEC CICS command was issued from the application program.

EIBRESP Description Indicates the meaning of the value in the EIBRESP attribute.

EIBRESP Value Indicates, together with the EIBRESP2 attribute, the resulting condition of the last executed command by the transaction.

EIBRESP2 Value Indicates, together with the EIBRESP attribute, the resulting condition of the last executed command by the transaction.

EXEC CICS Command Is the EXEC CICS command currently in use.

Function Code Is the function code of the current or last EXEC CICS command issued by the transaction.

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.

Program Name Is the name of the application program from which the EXEC CICS command was issued.

Program Offset Indicates the hexadecimal offset within the program where the EXEC CICS command was issued.

Resource Name The symbolic identifier of the resource being accessed by the current or last EXEC CICS command.

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.

Task Number Is the number sequentially assigned by CICS to uniquely identify each task.

Terminal ID Indicates the terminal ID of the principal facility (terminal or logical unit) associated with the transaction.

Transaction ID Is the four character name of the transaction.
