APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • CICS Explorer slowness specifically for our huge cicsplex
environment. Currently CICS Explorer is not eligible for us to
use due to the slow reponse time especially when browsing among
the cicsplexes which has thousands of cics regions.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • When the CICSplex Explorer has a large number of CICSplexes each
containing a number of regions in the order of 1000s, the orange
text after the name of each CICSplex that indicates how many
regions in the plex are active is very slow to appear and CICS
Explorer is not very responsive.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The CICSplex Explorer and CICSplex Repositories view has been
updated to include a new toolbar button to "Toggle decorators".
This button will enable or disable decorators across both the
CICSplex Explorer and CICSplex Repositories views. The button
state will be stored within the user's workspace and retained
across a CICS Explorer restart.
.
This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.10 of the CICS
Explorer.
