Using CP/SM CICS System Groups

To monitor the performance of system groups defined in CICSPlex OMEGAMON, use the CP/SM CICS System Groups workspace in OMEGAMON AI for CICS.

You can specify a CP/SM group as the context for a FIND, so the FIND will search only within the CP/SM group you have specified, as if you were searching within a particular LPAR or Managed System List.

Using the CP/SM CICS System Groups Workspace

The CP/SM CICS System Groups workspace lets you see performance data broken down by CP/SM CICSPlex. To reach this workspace from the initial All Active CICSplexes workspace, select a CICSplex by entering G next to the CICSplex Name.

The CP/SM CICS System Groups workspace shows the CP/SM groups within the CICSplex you selected when you entered OMEGAMON AI for CICS, with the trees collapsed. To expand a tree, use the plus sign (+) to the left of the group name. With a tree expanded, you can see the statistics for the region(s) in that CP/SM group:

The fields displayed in this workspace are the same as those on the Region Overview workspace, with the addition of the Group MSL, Group Name, and Order fields. For details, see User Group List attribute group.

In the example, the DORGRP00 group contains two CICS regions, CICD6102 and CICD6103. You can scroll left and right to see statistics for each region, or you can enter G for a region, to display the CSYSGRP Regions Summary workspace.
