Issue/Introduction

How to change the Sysview parameters for each CICS region having a different value and  done permanently. How can this be done? 

Environment

Sysview 17.0

Resolution

The CNM4SCFG member contains global options for SYSVIEW on the lpar.
 
For SVWCOPTS, the ability to specify different parameters for different CICS regions is provided.

Specify the given option with the value that is required for the majority of regions first. Then after that specify an option with a different value for each jobname using the control statement  IF/ENDIF Expression.

"Control statements determine whether other statements will be executed. Using control statements within parameter or text-based source members provides enhanced functionality in definitions."
 
For example, to specify TRANSACTION-DATA-FILES  SUMMARY in the SVWCOPTS parmlib member for all regions except PCICREG1 and PCICREG2:
 
TRANSACTION-DATA-FILES       SUMMARY
 
)IF JOBNAME = PCICREG1
TRANSACTION-DATA-FILES       NO
)ENDIF
 
)IF JOBNAME = PCICREG2
TRANSACTION-DATA-FILES       NO
)ENDIF

In Keyword Substitution Values regarding keyword "JOBNAME" above see  :

JOBNAME          The jobname where the SYSVIEW session is  executing. If running in a CICS address space, the jobname is that of the CICS address space.
