CICSplex Transaction Wait Other Analysis attribute group

The CICSplex Transaction Wait Other Analysis attributes report a breakdown of the total amount of time the transaction waited as a result of other wait types. Use the CICSplex Transaction Wait Other Analysis attributes to find which timing is a large percent of the transaction response time, then determine which conditions might cause the timing to be excessive.

First Dispatch Delay Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited prior to first dispatch.

CICS MAXOPENTCBS Delay Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited to obtain a CICS TCB, because the region had reached the limit set by the system parameter MAXOPENTCBS.

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.

Dispatchable Wait Time Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited as a result of giving up control to another task.

ExternalWait Time Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited for one or more ECBs as a result of using the EXEC CICS WAIT EXTERNAL ECBLIST command.

Global ENQ Delay Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited for a CICS Task Control global ENQ.

Interval Control Delay Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited as a result of using the EXEC CICS DELAY command (for a time interval or a specific time of day) or the EXEC CICS RETRIEVE command with the WAIT option.

JVM Suspend Time Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction was suspended by the CICS dispatcher while running in the CICS Java Virtual Machine.

Local ENQ Delay Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited for a CICS Task Control ENQ.

Lock Manager Delay Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited to acquire a lock on a resource.

Origin Node Is the combination of the z/OS System ID (SMFID) and the 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.

Re-Dispatch Wait Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited to be re-dispatched by CICS after completing a request.

RRMS/MVS Wait Time Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited indoubt using resource recovery services for EXCI.

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 four 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.

WAITCICS and WAIT EVENT wait Indicates the amount of time, in thousandths of a second, that the transaction waited for one or more ECBs (as a result of using the EXEC CICS WAITCICS ECBLIST command) or for the completion of an event by the same or another task (usually as a result of using the EXEC CICS WAIT EVENT command).
