Adding elements

To be monitored, an element must be defined and contained within a group.

To define new elements for an existing group, select the Add Element option (C) on the Groups path or enter fast path G.C from any panel. The elements you define must correspond with the group TYPE definition. You can define the same element in multiple groups. An Add Elements To Group panel, which is used to add one or more elements to a group, is displayed in the following figure:

Follow the instructions on this panel to modify the GRPS ADD statement. Enter the group number. An asterisk (*) specifies all groups. Also replace elem with the appropriate type (TRAN or PROG or TERM), replace cccc with the element ID and the appropriate response time threshold(s). The RESP parameter refers to CICS® response time.

For example, to add transaction ID SA21 to Group 01, with a response time threshold of 3.5 seconds, modify the GRPS statement on the last line of the display to look like the following statement:

GRPS ADD,GROUP=1,TRAN=SA21,RESP=3.5
