Online Data Viewing workspace

The Online Data Viewing workspace displays the information collected from the historical data analysis that has been set for each CICS® region.

The predefined Online Data Viewing workspace contains the following views:

  • Historical Transaction Processor Utilization bar chart. This compares the amount of CPU (in seconds) used by each task.
  • Historical Transaction Overview table. This shows the start and end time that was set for the collection of historical data.

    For each task, it shows the transaction, terminal ID, transaction type, user ID, program ID, CPU time, response time, storage high water mark (HWM), file requests, terminal I/O, and abend code for that task. It also shows the operation and Web service name for transaction tracking.

Using the query editor, you can filter the data that has been collected and stored by historical data collection.

This workspace has a link to the Application Trace workspace, if trace details exist for a specific transaction.

It also provides a link to the Online Data Viewing panel of the OMEGAMON for CICS (3270) interface. When you right-click a link icon in the Historical Transaction Overview table view and select Online Data Viewing in 3270, you must enter your terminal session user credentials in the dialog and click OK. A terminal view is displayed within the workspace, with the appropriate details.

Note that this predefined workspace link to a 3270 session has an associated sample script. You should review the script prior to using it in your environment.
