Fields

Table 2. Fields in MASSTAT views
Field Attribute name Description
CICS system name CICSNAME The name of a CICS system that is currently known to CICSPlex SM. Once a CICS system makes itself known to CICSPlex SM, it is considered a MAS.
MAS status CICSSTATE

The status of the MAS is either ACTIVE or INACTIVE. CICSPlex SM can only manage MASs that are active. If all CMASs involved in management of the CICSplex have connected and synchronized properly, all CMASs should report identical status for any individual CICS system.

A MAS can be inactive for one of two reasons:
  • The Stop action was used to stop the MAS agent
  • The CICS system itself is inactive, but is still known

Note: If this field is blank, the MAS is temporarily between an inactive and active state.
CMAS name CMASNAME The name of the local CMAS to which the MAS is connected.
CICS system description DESC A description of the CICS system.
MAS type MASTYPE The type of relationship that exists between this MAS and the specified CMAS:
  • LOCAL - The MAS resides in the same MVS image as the CMAS and uses the CICSPlex SM ESSS facility to communicate with it.
  • REMOTE - The MAS is a stand-alone CICS region (SMSS).
  • N/A - The MAS is not currently active; its type cannot be determined.
Reporting CMAS name RPTCMAS The name of the CMAS from which the information on a line was reported.
