    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SMF 110 field CECMDLID not updated      *
    ****************************************************************
    When CICS initialises, it write an SMF 110 record containing
    the CEC Machine Type and Model.  This may present as (eg: from
    running DFH0STAT):
    CEC Machine Type and Model. . :  2964-799
    This field remains constant for the run of CICS.  If additional
    engines are added and this number doesn't change then there
    is the potential to compromise capacity planning activities.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHMNST runs when statistics recording is ON at a frequency set
    by the STATITICS INTERVAL value.  When MNST runs it will refresh
    the CECMDLID value and write it as an SMF 110 record.
