Step 6a: Modify the MCT (optional)
The Monitoring Control Table (MCT) defines which resources are monitored by MainView for CICS for each CICS region.
Modify the MCT if you want MainView for CICS to:
- collect additional performance data for DBCTL resources
- collect and report on TCP/IP usage by a task, as reported by TCP/IP
- store additional MainView for CICS data in CICS SMF 110 records for use by tools (such as MICS) that process those records
- store additional MainView for CICS collected data specific to DB2 in the CICS SMF 110 performance records
MainView for CICS provides two MCT definitions that can be used to collect additional data for the CICS SMF 110 performance record:
- CMRDATA contains miscellaneous information about IBM DB2, SAP (from SAP AG), ADABAS, MQ, and other databases.
- CMRDB2 contains detailed DB2 information about specific SQL requests. It contains count and time totals.
Either one or both can be specified.
