GRAPHICS option
This section describes the MainView for CICS full-screen GRAPHICS option.
MainView for CICS maintains real-time performance indicator values, which can be used to graph system statistical data or to detect performance bottlenecks and problems.
You can
- monitor CICS resource consumption by using graphic displays that note resources that have exceeded user-specified thresholds
- redesign graphic displays interactively to review thresholds for selected resource groupings in the CICS environment
These values can be accessed in one of the following ways:
Format | Description |
|---|---|
predefined graphs | Option G, GRAPHICS, of the Primary Option Menu invokes the predefined graph facility, which provides a menu of graph selections that have been predefined to MainView for CICS. You can select specific graphs to display. Scrolling to other predefined graphs also is supported. For more information, refer to Graph master menu. |
user-defined graphs | Option U, USER GRAPHS, of the Graph Master Menu invokes the user-defined graph facility, which provides selection lists for specifying given resources and fields to be included in the graphs. For more information, refer to Selecting-a-user-defined-graph. |
direct command entry | The graph service may be invoked by using the EXEC command or the CYCLE SETUP application. This service allows direct graph requests without using any menu selection. It is intended for the more experienced user. For more information, refer to Using-direct-GRAPH-command-requests. |
