System records

Edit online

Each time OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) starts and stops monitoring a CICS® region, OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) creates a system record that contains z/OS-related statistics as well as copies of the CSA and system initialization table (SIT) from CICS.

This can happen in either of the following ways:
  • OMEG INIT or OMEG SHUT
  • PLT startup or shutdown when the KOCOME00 program is run.
Frequency of records
One record when OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) starts to monitor a CICS region and one record when OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) stops monitoring a CICS region.
Approximate record length
Record length depends on the version of your CICS Transaction Server.
  • V3.1.0 approximately 5912 bytes
  • V3.2.0 approximately 5912 bytes
  • V4.1.0 approximately 6776 bytes
  • V4.2.0 approximately 6616 bytes
Controls
Writing of records is controlled by the Global Data Area WRITE_SYSTEM_RECORDS parameter. If it is set to YES, system records are written; if it is set to NO, system records are not written; if it is set to CMF, the setting of the Global Data Area CICS_CMF_WRITE parameter determines if system records are written. For example, CICS_CMF_WRITE=YES, CICS_CMFWRITE=ASIS will result in records being written while CICS_CMF_WRITE=NO, will not.
Post processing
OMEGAMON AI for CICS converts these records to produce the System Detail Report.
