Monitor Exceptions (9.4.1)

Related Topics

The Monitor Exceptions screen (9.4.1), displayed in the following figure, allows you to exclude transactions and programs from tracing, storage protection, and Code Coverage data collection. You can also modify the entries to exclude programs containing specific CSECTs. This screen is useful for excluding certain software packages that may cause problems if traced, protected, or code covered by Code Debug.

To access the 9.4.1 screen, type the number 1 in the COMMAND field on the Monitor Facilities screen and press Enter.

Default Monitor Exceptions

The undisplayed system exception entries listed in the following table are pre-defined within Code Debug CICS.

Warning

The entries in System Entries for Exceptions to Monitoring table pertain to BMC, IBM, and other vendor software. If you try to monitor a program that coincidentally matches an entry, it could inadvertently be excluded from the expected monitoring. For help resolving this situation, contact BMC Support.

Important

Member XDDB941V in SMXDSAMP contains example parameters for additional vendor software. These can be added to your BMC PARMLIB for software installed in your CICS environment.

Input Fields

CMD

The L (List) line command transfers to the Monitor-Eligibility-9-4-2 screen. The S (Select) line command selects an entry to exclude. The D (Delete) removes this monitor exception entry.

TRAN, PROGRAM, CSECT

These fields are used to define the transactions, programs (load modules), and CSECTs entries which must be excluded from tracing and storage protection. Anything is acceptable as input in this field. No validation is performed against CICS-defined resources (transaction or program).

There are some values for the TRAN, PROGRAM, and CSECT fields that have special meaning:

An asterisk (*) represents the wildcard character and matches any character.
If the input field ends with *, it is padded to the right with asterisks.

Output Fields

ENTRY

Displays the monitor exception entries the cursor is positioned on, as well as the total number of 9.4.1 entries.

Important

Entries in the CSECT suspend monitoring only when the named CSECT is called from within the application being monitored. This applies to both static calls and COBOL II dynamic calls. Monitoring is not suspended when the named CSECT is invoked through a CICS service (e.g. LINK or XCTL). If you want monitoring disabled for a program invoked through a CICS service, enter that program name in the PROGRAM field and asterisks (*) in the CSECT field.

EXCL. LEVEL/MESSAGE

Provides information on the level of exclusion for the defined transaction, program, or CSECT. The default is all CSECTs.
