CYCLE parameters

These parameters indicate how often an exception is checked and how often it is allowed to be triggered.

EXNCYC: Sets the frequency for checking the exception at every n OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) cycles. If this parameter is set to 0 or 1, it is tested every OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) cycle. If it is set to a higher number, it will only be tested each time that number of cycles elapses. The default setting for EXNCYC is 0. This parameter is provided so that you can tailor high overhead exceptions for your own environment. You can avoid using CPU time to test them every cycle. For example, if you have many devices in the class being examined by an exception (such as DASD or tape), you may want to set this parameter for corresponding exceptions in the hardware group. When an exception that is not tested every cycle trips, the exception message appears on the screen as usual. In the following cycles during which it is not scheduled for testing, the exception message are displayed on the screen after the primary exception analysis display.
STOP=n (m): Sets a limit on the number of times an exception is allowed to trip. After the exception trips n times, the exception will not be tested or displayed during the current OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) session, unless the user resets this parameter. The m value, which is informational only, indicates the number of times the exception has already tripped since the user last reset the Stop parameter. The default value for Stop is 0, which means that there is no limit to how many times the exception can be tested and displayed.
CUMULATIVE: Indicates how many times the exception has tripped during the current OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) session. You may not alter this value.
