Setting resource limiting rules (WARN and KILL limits) in the e3270 user interface

You can specify different resource limiting rules for different resource types in the enhanced 3270 user interface.

  1. Select a CICSplex from the All Active CICSplexes panel in the CICS tab.
  2. Enter C (Control Functions) for a CICS region from the CICSplex Regions Summary panel.
  3. From the CICS Control Functions panel, enter R for CICS Resource Limiting Information.
  4. If Resource Limiting Status is shown as Inactive, use the Enable button to enable it.
  5. Select a resource type from the Resource field, or accept the default, which is CPU (seconds). Other choices will have different units; for example, CONTAINER will be a number of bytes; ADABAS or DB2 will be a number of requests.
  6. If you want to exclude a transaction ID from being resource-limited, you can specify it in the Resource Limiting Excluded Tranids for resource type field.
  7. Page down to the Resource Limiting details for resource type panel, move the cursor underneath Transaction ID, and either double-click the field or enter a slash (/) and press ENTER, then enter A at the Options menu. This brings up the Add Resource Limiting Rule panel.
  8. Enter a transaction ID.
  9. For Warn Limit, enter the value you want to use as a warning threshold for this type of resource. For example, enter 10 to set the limit at 10 seconds of CPU.
  10. For Kill Limit, enter the value you want to use as a kill threshold.
    Note: You can set a warn limit only, a kill limit only, or both.
  11. Press ENTER. The resource limiting rule will be created, and a KCPAC4300I informational message will be displayed, indicating that the command was successfully processed.

You can copy, modify, or delete existing resource limiting rules from the Options menu.
