History Views

The history views allow you to work with CICS historical data.

Recent - HTASK
The completed tasks (history) (HTASK) views display information about completed tasks; that is tasks that previously ran in a system managed by CICSPlex SM, but have now been completed. Once a task completes, information can be obtained by the HTASK resource, provided CICSPlex SM history recording has been activated for that task.
Task history collection - MASHIST
The CICS region history collection (MASHIST) view displays information about the status of CICSPlex SM history recording for CICS regions. Support for historical task data builds upon CICSPlex SM resource monitoring. It requires monitor definitions to be installed with a monitoring resource class of MTRAN to specify the IDs of the transactions for which you wish to save historical task data. Additionally VSAM data sets must be defined and allocated to the MAS region by means of DD cards, and the desired monitoring facility parameters set.
MASs known to CICSplex - MAS
The MASs known to CICSplex (MAS) views display information about MASs known to CICSplex.
