Displayed fields

ALL

This is the default. CICS displays the names of all installed CFDT pools.

CFDTPOOL(value)

Displays information about a named CFDT pool.

CICS creates a resource entry for a CFDT pool when a file resource definition that refers to a coupling facility data table is first installed. The resource entry is cataloged, and reinstalled from the catalog on a warm or emergency restart.

Note: You cannot discard CFDT pool entries other than by a cold or initial start of the CICS region.

CONNSTATUS

Displays the connection status for the named CFDT pool. The values are as follows:

CONNECTED: The server for the coupling facility data table pool is available in this MVS™ image, and CICS is currently connected to it.
UNCONNECTED: The server for the coupling facility data table pool is available in this MVS image, but CICS is not currently connected to it.
UNAVAILABLE: The server for the coupling facility data table pool is currently unavailable in the MVS image.
