CICSplex Transaction Remote Information attribute group

The CICSplex Transaction Remote Information attributes report information relevant to a transaction's interaction with other CICS systems. Use these attributes to find out the remote CICS systems the transaction is interacting with. Performance problems in the remote CICS system might contribute to the overall elapsed time of the local transaction.

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.

CICS SYSIDNT Is the four-character ID assigned to the local CICS region.

Origin Node Is 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.

Remote Facility ID Is the identifier of the facility used by the local transaction to communicate with the remote CICS.

Remote Facility Type Indicates the type of facility used by the local transaction to communicate with the remote CICS.

Remote Session I/O Indicates whether a task is in RECEIVE mode (waiting for a session to respond) or SEND mode (initiating the next request).

Remote Session ID Indicates the actual terminal ID for this session.

Remote Session Side Indicates whether a task is in the Frontend or Backend of a conversation. Session side displays n/a for DTP sessions.

Remote System Is the four-character ID assigned to the remote CICS region in the Terminal Control Table (TCT).

Remote Transaction Is the four-character name of the transaction in the remote CICS.

System ID Indicates the four-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.

Task Number Is the number sequentially assigned by CICS to uniquely identify each task.

Transaction ID Is the four-character name of the transaction defined to CICS.
