The CICSplex Temporary Storage Summary attributes provide status information about the current use of temporary storage for each monitored CICS region. Use these attributes in situations to monitor pool connections and read and write requests for all managed regions. These attributes provide data for the Temporary Storage Summary table view.
Aux Buffer Waits Indicates the number of requests that are currently suspended pending the availability of an auxiliary temporary storage buffer. The value format is an integer of maximum 4 bytes.
Aux Current String Waits Indicates the current number of queued requests for an available string against DFHTEMP. The value format is an integer of maximum 4 bytes.
Aux Total String Waits Indicates the total number of queued requests for an available string against DFHTEMP. The value format is an integer of maximum 4 bytes.
CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS image has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of 8 characters, and case-sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.
Main Storage The number of bytes of main storage currently in use by temporary storage queues. The value format is an integer.
Origin Node The combination of z/OS System ID (SMFID) and CICS region name. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 32 bytes, and case-sensitive.
When a situation is true, the system compares the origin node name in the attribute to the names of managed systems assigned to the item. If the origin node name matches the name of a managed system, the status of the item changes accordingly. If the names of the origin node and the managed systems do not match, the status of the item remains unchanged.
Percent Aux Active Strings Indicates the percentage of VSAM strings currently being used by auxiliary temporary storage. This value is calculated by dividing the current string count by the total number of strings. The value format is a percentage in the range of 0-100.
Percent Aux Buffers in Use Indicates the percentage of auxiliary temporary storage buffers in use. This value is calculated by dividing the current buffers in use by the total number of buffers. The value format is a percentage in the range of 0-100.
Percent Aux CIs in Use Indicates the percentage used of the auxiliary temporary storage VSAM data set Control Intervals (CI). If auxiliary storage is exhausted, severe degradation of CICS performance occurs. The value format is a percentage in the range of 0-100.
Pools Connected Indicates the number of shared temporary storage pools that are connected. The value format is an integer, maximum 4 bytes.
Pools Defined Indicates the number of shared temporary storage pools that are defined. The value format is an integer, maximum 4 bytes.
Read Requests Indicates the number of shared read requests for shared temporary storage. The value format is an integer, maximum 4 bytes.
System ID Indicates the 4-character name that uniquely identifies an active z/OS operating system within a given CICSplex. The value format is an alphanumeric string, maximum 4 characters, and case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.
Total Tasks Suspended The maximum number of tasks that have been suspended because of waits from temporary storage resources. The value format is an integer.
Write Requests Indicates the number of shared write requests for shared temporary storage. The value format is an integer, maximum 4 bytes.
