Setting monitoring conditions (CMRSOPT)

The CMRSOPT macro options table adapts BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS operations and monitoring to your specific IBM CICS environment.

This options table is multipurpose and it specifies:

  • Transactions excluded from monitoring
  • Start up of agent functions (extractor, task kill, program timing, and so on)
  • Monitored resources (terminals, transactions, files, and so on)
  • Data collection intervals that control how often CICS statistics are written to SMF where data can be converted to CMRSTATS records by the CMRSTATS utility
  • Thresholds for system-wide response time service levels
  • Data collection routines for supported fourth generation languages (4GLs) and database management systems

By default, BMC AMI OpsM for CICS monitoring begins at PLT or manual startup. For more information about starting BMC AMI OpsM for CICS monitoring manually, see Controlling-functions-manually.

Use the online administrative function in the CMRSOPT family of views to maintain the CMRSOPT macro. BMC AMI OpsM for CICS stores the data in the CMRSOPxx member of the BBIPARM data set and you access the data through the CMRSOPT views. No user modifications are required because the default parameter values are stored in a module named CMRSOPT.

To use the administrative function, you must first use the CMRSOPT views to add the default entry in the BBIPARM data set. For more information, see Using-BMC-AMI-Ops-Monitor-for-CICS-online-services.

When a target CICS connects to the BBI-SS PAS for the first time, the CMRSOPT is loaded into ECSA. BMC AMI OpsM for CICS looks for CMRSOPT in the following sequence:

  1. Attempts to locate a CMRSOPxx member in the BBI-SS PAS BBIPARM concatenation
  2. If one is found, BMC AMI OpsM for CICS uses it.

CMRSOP00 is the default member name. To specify a different prefix, use the BBCFG (see ErrorThe referenced document [xwiki:Mainframe.Ops.mvcommonmaster._inclusions_library._links_MainViewInfrastructure.WebHome] was not found. 0). 

When BMC AMI OpsM for CICS finds a CMRSOPxx member in BBIPARM, BMC AMI OpsM for CICS builds a CMRSOPT load module from the data. BMC AMI OpsM for CICS uses the created module to build the internal CMRSOPT data areas.

The CMRSOPT is refreshed when:

  • The BBI-SS PAS is recycled
  • CICS is recycled
  • FST2 INIT is processed after a FST2 TERM
  • One of the RESET commands is issued

For more information about the RESET commands, see Resetting-the-CMRSOPT.
