Specifying region-specific options: API and SPI commands to be monitored

Use the Region Configuration Menu panel CIU200 to specify the API and SPI commands to be monitored.

The following two types of dependency-related CICS® commands can be collected:
Note:
  1. If you specified ALL on the Region Configuration Menu, the initial values of the fields on the CICS Resources Options panel are set to those of the first real CICS® region listed on the Region Configuration Menu; that is, the values are taken from the first region listed after the special ALL and DEFAULT applids. Both the CICS® APPLID and the SYSID are shown as ALL.
  2. If you specified DEFAULTS on the Region Configuration Menu, the initial values of the fields on the CICS Resources Options panel are the defaults, taken from the CICS® IA control file, CIUCNTL. The CICS® APPLID is shown as DEFAULTS and the SYSID as DFTS. Any changes that you make are saved in the control file and become the new default values.

    If you are editing the DEFAULTS record, you must specify Y or N in each field. You cannot specify a blank.

❶ Detect command types
This option determines whether the Collector is to monitor each of the types of dependency-related API command listed. For each type of API command that you want the Collector to monitor, type Y. For each type of API command that you do not want the Collector to monitor, type N or, to use the default value in the CICS® IA control file, specify a blank. When the control file is first created, the system default value for each command is Y (Yes), but you might have modified it since.
Note:
If you are editing the DEFAULTS record, you must specify Y or N in each field. You cannot specify a blank.
❷ APIs

The groups of CICS® API commands that can be monitored.

The commands are listed by groups on the panel. The individual API commands that make up each group are listed in CICS API commands. The individual EXEC CICS® FEPI commands that make up the FEPI API group are listed in CICS FEPI API commands.

❸D=Yes+Detail option
You can use option D only for the API types marked with an asterisk.

If you are going to run the threadsafe report you must collect Detailed information for Programs and Files, select D for Programs and Files.
