How to define new cics threshold?

Environment

SYSVIEW R14.1 and later 

Resolution

The CICSOPTS member cannot be used anymore to specify a CICS THRESHOLD MEMBER, the parameter THRESHOLD-MEMBER in the CICSOPTS is removed

with the SYSVIEW version 14.1.

 

If the parmlib is shared between LPARS you can define threshold with specifying the cics JOBNAME sample below:

     DEFINE CPUTIME

     JOBNAME CICSJOB1

     RSCE = 

     TRAN =

     LIMIT 120

     TRIGLVL PROBLEM

     CANCEL AUTO

     ENABLED

     ENDDEFINE 

 

     DEFINE CPUTIME

     JOBNAME CICSJOB2

     RSCE = 

     TRAN =

     LIMIT 10

     TRIGLVL PROBLEM

     CANCEL AUTO

     ENABLED

     ENDDEFINE 

 

If JOBNAME for CICS are identical cross lpars you can define a specific SYSVIEW parmlib (CNM4BPRM) by LPAR and create a CTHRESH member in it.

To do that:

1. Define new site parmlib  SYSVW141.SYSC.CNM4BPRM   where SYSC is the sysname, change the name at your convenience. 

2. Change the configuration member GSVXGSVX (default) with the following:

        Dsn-Site-PARMLIB                          SYSVW141.&SYSNAME..CNM4BPRM  

3. Create the CTHRESH member with the definition for Lpar SYSC into SYSVW141.SYSC.CNM4BPRM 

4. You can verify the parmlib concatenation and allocation using the LIBS sysview command.
