The predefined situations in this category monitor the LSR Pool status.
If all strings are in use, response time is degraded. Use the LSR Pool Status report to analyze string and LSR pool use. Additionally, Bottleneck Analysis in OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS can be used to determine the amount of degradation caused by waiting for strings. If there is no evident problem, increase the number of strings in the SHRCTL macro.
