CICSplex Temporary Storage Detail attribute group

The CICSplex Temporary Storage Detail attributes report on the temporary storage pools and queues that exist in the monitored CICS system. Use the CICSplex Temporary Storage Detail attributes in situations to monitor temporary storage pools and queues and provide data in regards to the number and size of items in a queue. These attributes provide data for the Temporary Storage Queues table view.

Note:
The attributes within the CICSplex Temporary Storage Detail group are stored for historical retrieval within the Tivoli Data Warehouse. Selected attributes within this group are candidates for the TDW's summarization and pruning features.

CICS Region Name Indicates the job name or modify ID of the CICS region being monitored. Each CICS region in a z/OS operating system has a unique name. This name is an alphanumeric string, with a maximum of eight characters, and case-sensitive. CICS region names are always in uppercase characters.

Hex Queue ID Indicates the name of the temporary storage queue in hexadecimal format. The value format is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 16 characters.

Items in Queue Indicates the number of items in the temporary storage queue. The value format is an integer with a maximum of two bytes, and in the range 0-32767.

Last Used Interval Indicates the length of the interval in binary seconds since the temporary storage queue was last referenced. The value format is a positive integer with a maximum of four bytes.

Maximum Length Indicates the length in bytes of the largest item in a temporary storage queue. The value format is an integer with a maximum of two bytes, and in the range 0-32767.

Minimum Length Indicates the length in bytes of the smallest item in a temporary storage queue. The value format is an integer with a maximum of two bytes, and in the range 0-32767.

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.

Queue ID Indicates the name of the temporary storage queue. The value format is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 8 characters, and is case-sensitive.

Queue Type Indicates whether the temporary storage queue is kept in main storage, auxiliary storage, or temporary storage harbored in a coupling facility structure. Valid values are Auxiliary, Main, and Shared.

Shared Indicates the name of the temporary storage pool in the coupling facility that contains the queues. The value format is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of eight characters, and is case-sensitive.

Structure Name The coupling facility (CF) structure name for the temporary storage queue. The structure name is only applicable to shared TS queues. The value format is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of 16 characters.

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 with a maximum of four characters, and is case-sensitive. z/OS System IDs are always in uppercase characters.

Tasks Waiting Indicates the number of tasks that are suspended pending access to the temporary storage queue. The value format is a positive integer with a maximum of four bytes.

Total Length Indicates the length in bytes of all the items in the temporary storage queue. The value format is a positive integer with a maximum of four bytes.

Transaction ID Indicates the ID of the transaction that created the temporary storage queue. The value format is an alphanumeric string with a maximum of four characters, and is case-sensitive.
