Terminal control: Resource statistics
You can retrieve terminal control: resource statistics by using the EXEC CICS COLLECT STATISTICS TERMINAL system command. They are mapped by the DFHA06DS DSECT.
In addition to this, this DSECT should be used to map the terminal totals record.
| DFHSTUP name | Field name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Term Id | A06TETI | is the identifier of each terminal, which may
have been statically defined, autoinstalled, or generated from the
SESSIONS definition for a connection. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| LUname | A06LUNAM | is the terminal LU name. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Terminal Type | A06TETT | is the terminal type as defined in the TCT. For
information about terminal types and their codes, see ASSIGN TERMCODE. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Acc Meth | A06EAMIB | is the terminal access method as defined in the TCT. This may be “SNA1”, “MRO”, “GAM”, “SNA2”, “BSAM”, or “VTAM” (now the z/OS® Communications Server). For more information about access methods and their codes, see the DFHTCTTE DSECT. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Conn ID | A06SYSID | is the owning connection name of this terminal/session.
Reset characteristic: not reset |
| No. of Xactions | A06TEOT | is the number of transactions, both conversational
and pseudoconversational, that were started at this terminal. The
transaction count is less than input messages if conversational transactions
are being used. Reset characteristic: reset to zero When the operator signs off, the transaction count is not reset. At this time, message DFHSN1200 is issued containing the transaction count for that operator. |
| Xaction Errors | A06TEOE | is the number of transactions associated with
this particular terminal that could not be started. This could mean
that a transaction identifier has not been defined in the CSD data
set, or that the operator does not have the proper security to enter
the transaction, or that the transaction has been disabled. Reset characteristic: reset to zero When the operator signs off, the transaction error count is not reset. At this time, message DFHSN1200 is issued containing the transaction error count for that operator. |
| Storage Viols | A06CSVC | is the number of storage violations that have
occurred on this terminal. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Input Messages For more information see1 |
A06TENI | See note. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Output Messages For more information see 1 |
A06TENO | See note. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Xmission Errors | A06TETE | is the number of errors for this terminal, or
the number of disconnects for this session. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Pipeline Message: NOT IN THE DFHSTUP REPORT | A06TCNT | is the total throwaway count. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Pipeline Message: NOT IN THE DFHSTUP REPORT | A06SCNT | is the number of consecutive throwaways. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Pipeline Message: NOT IN THE DFHSTUP REPORT | A06MCNT | is the maximum throwaway count. Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Pipeline Message: NOT IN THE DFHSTUP REPORT | A06PRTY | is the terminal priority Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Pipeline Message: TIOA Storage | A06STG | is the TIOA storage allowed at this terminal.
Reset characteristic: reset to zero |
| Autoinstall Time: Logon | A06ONTM | is time at which this terminal/session was autoinstalled.
This time is expressed as hours:minutes:seconds.decimals. The DSECT field contains the value as a store clock (STCK) value
in local time. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Autoinstall Time: Logoff | A06OFFTM | is the time at which this terminal/session was
logged off. This time is expressed as hours:minutes:seconds.decimals. The DSECT field contains the value as a store clock (STCK) value
in local time. Note that this field is only set on an Unsolicited Statistics (USS) record. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Autoinstall Time: NOT IN THE DFHSTUP REPORT | A06GONTM | is the time at which this terminal/session was
autoinstalled. The DSECT field contains the value as a store clock
(STCK) value in GMT. Reset characteristic: not reset |
| Autoinstall Time: NOT IN THE DFHSTUP REPORT | A06GOFTM | is the time at which this terminal/session was
logged off. The DSECT field contains the value as a store clock (STCK)
value in GMT. Note that this field is only set on an Unsolicited Statistics (USS) record. Reset characteristic: not reset |
- Input messages (A06TENI) and output messages (A06TENO)
are the amount of message activity per terminal. Input and output
messages should represent the message traffic between CICS® and the terminal. Input traffic should
be the result of operator initiated input: that is, initial transaction
input or input as a result of a conversational read to the terminal.
Output messages should be output written by the application program
or messages sent by CICS.
Input and output messages can vary because of differences in the application program being used on different terminals. ATI-initiated transactions would typically not have terminal input but could result in one or many output messages. A batch oriented terminal could initiate a single transaction that did multiple reads to the terminal resulting in multiple input messages. The differences between the remote and local terminal counts may be a result of different applications that run on them. Otherwise, they should be similar.
