Transient data: Summary global statistics

Transient data summary global statistics are not available online.

Table 1. Transient data: Summary global statistics. In the statistics produced for the intrapartition data set:
DFHSTUP name Description
Control interval size is the last value encountered for the size of the control interval, expressed in bytes.

 

Peak control intervals used is the peak number of control intervals concurrently in the system.

 

Times NOSPACE occurred is a total number of times that a NOSPACE condition has occurred.

 

Writes to intrapartition data set is the total number of WRITEs to the transient data data set. This includes both WRITEs needed for recovery and WRITEs forced by the buffer being needed to accommodate another CI. I/O activity caused by the latter reason can be minimized by increasing the buffer allocation.

 

Reads from intrapartition data set is the total number of times a CI has to be read from disk. Increasing the buffer allocation decreases this activity.

 

Formatting writes is the total number of times a new CI was written at the end of the data set in order to increase the amount of available space.

 

I/O errors is the total number of input/output errors that have occurred during this run of CICS®.

 

In the statistics produced for buffer usage:
DFHSTUP name Description
Intrapartition buffers is the last value encountered for the number of transient data buffers specified by the TD system initialization parameter. The number of buffers allocated may exceed the number requested.

 

Peak intra. buffers containing valid data is the peak number of intrapartition buffers which contain valid data.

 

Intrapartition accesses is the total number of times that intrapartition buffers have been accessed.

 

Peak concurrent intrapartition accesses is the peak number of concurrent intrapartition buffer accesses.

 

Intrapartition buffer waits is the total number of times a request was queued because all buffers were allocated to other tasks. A buffer wait also occurs if the required control interval is already in a locked buffer, and therefore unavailable, even if there are other buffers available.

 

Peak intrapartition buffer waits is the peak number of requests queued because no buffers were available.

 

All of the intrapartition data set statistics referenced in the table are printed, even if the values reported are zero.

CICS produces the following statistics for multiple strings:
DFHSTUP name Description
Times string accessed is the total number of times a string was accessed.

 

Peak concurrent string accesses is the peak number of strings concurrently accessed in the system.

 

Intrapartition string waits is the total number of times that tasks had to wait because no strings were available.

 

Peak string waits is the peak number of concurrent string waits in the system.
