CICSplex Explorer view

The CICSplex Explorer view shows the details for the CICSplex in the current scope.

The initial view shows the CICSplexes in the connection. The plus icon (an arrow on Linux) next to the CICSplex indicates that there are CICS® systems that are defined to the CICSplex. Two numbers in parentheses follow the CICSplex name. The second number indicates the total number of CICS systems in the CICSplex, and the first number indicates the number of active CICS systems.

Initial CICSplex Explorer view that shows two CICSplexes.

Clicking the plus icon (an arrow on Linux) next to a CICSplex name expands the content to show the Workload Management section, the CICS systems, and the CICS system groups in the CICSplex. Active CICS systems are shown with their APPLID in parentheses after the system name. Inactive systems are shown without an APPLID and with their icon grayed out.

A screen capture of the CICSplex Explorer view that shows the CICSplex expanded. The Workload Management section is shown, and also the CICS regions and CICS system groups in the CICSplex.
You can expand each item to show the contents. When you expand the Workload Management section, you see the workloads in the CICSplex.
Expanded CICSplex Explorer view

Expanding an active workload shows the routers and the workload definitions, also known as routing rules, in the workload. Inactive workloads are shown with their icon grayed out. Expand a routing rule to show the target regions and transaction groups for that rule. Text, in parenthesis, after the target region name provides an indication of the status of the region at the time when the view is refreshed. The status can be one of the following values:
ACTIVE
The target is available to participate in workload management.
QUIESCING
The target is being quiesced. No new transactions are routed to this target. Transactions currently being routed to this target are routed to another target, unless an affinity relation exists. If there is an affinity relation, transactions continue to be routed to this target until the affinity lifetime expires. Note that if a target has an affinity lifetime of PERMANENT, it will remain in a QUIESCING state indefinitely.
QUIESCED
The target is not available to participate in workload management.
Additional information is provided by the text that follows the status:
DUMPING
Indicates that the target is running a system or transaction dump.
SOS
Indicates that the target is short on storage.
MAXTASKS
Indicates that the target is at Max Tasks (MXT).
STALLED
Indicates that the target is stalled.
Statuses can be concatenated, for example, you might see the status ACTIVE DUMPING SOS that indicates that the region is both short on storage, and is running a system or transaction dump.

The view does not refresh automatically, so to see the latest status you must refresh the view.
