Starting and stopping temporary storage (TS) queue monitoring

Because temporary storage queue names can be as long as 16 bytes, an offset parameter is also available from the CMRSOPT administration view. This parameter designates the offset into the 16-byte queue name to where the 8-byte key is extracted. The 8-byte key designates the queue name from which MainView for CICS collects the temporary storage data. Valid offset values are from 0 through 9; 0 is the default.

These parameters are checked during PLT initialization when MainView for CICS is in the PLT, or on the first INIT request and are ignored on subsequent INIT requests. These parameters are not available in the CMRSOPT macro.

You can control temporary storage monitoring with the FST2 transaction or the CREGAGT view:

• TSON: activate temporary storage queue collection (FST2 only)

• TSOF: deactivate temporary storage queue collection (FST2 only)

• TSY: activate temporary storage queue collection (FST2 and CREGAGT)

• TSN: deactivate temporary storage queue collection (FST2 and CREGAGT)

The CREGAGT view also provides status information about the temporary storage queue monitoring function.
