TCPIP Statistics workspace

The TCPIP Statistics workspace is used to monitor the activity of your CICS regions' TCP/IP connections. The statistics report the volume of inbound and outbound activity. These statistics can be accessed online using the EXEC CICS COLLECT STATISTICS TCPIP command.

You can use this workspace to warn you when the MAXSOCKETS value is being reached by comparing the Maximum sockets limit with the Current inbound and outbound sockets. Alternatively you can set a threshold to warn you when the number of times that MAXSOCKETS has been reached or if any timeouts have occurred while at MAXSOCKETS.

The predefined TCPIP Statistics workspace contains the following views:

If the OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks V4.1 product is also installed and running, you can link to the Application TCP Listeners workspace. With this feature, you can investigate the TCP/IP stack, filtered on the Application Name column (that is, the CICS jobname).
