Specifying Parameters for Your Measurement Session

AutoStrobe enables you to specify parameters for your measurement session by displaying the Strobe - AutoStrobe Request - Active Measurement panel when one of the following occurs:

  • You typed A in the Action field on the 

    Strobe

     - Add AutoStrobe Transaction Request panel to indicate that you want to submit a measurement request when a transaction exceeds a threshold.

  • You typed Y in the Monitor Immediate field to begin monitoring a CICS region as soon as the transaction monitoring request is submitted.

If AutoStrobe identifies multiple CICS regions with the same job, program, and step name active on the target system, AutoStrobe displays the Strobe - Active Job Selection List panel so you can select the appropriate job.

When you press Enter to submit this panel, AutoStrobe displays the Strobe - Data Collectors panel. On this panel, AutoStrobe automatically populates the CICS DATA COLLECTORS field with a Y and populates the Strobe - CICS Data Collector Options panel with the CICS transaction IDs you want to monitor from each monitoring period.
