Using direct GRAPH command requests


Graph requests also can be issued by using the EXEC command or by specifying the requests in the CYCLE SETUP application. For more information, see CYCLE-SETUP-option. In these cases, the command can be specified in either abbreviated format or extended format.

Graph commands

The commands in the following table are supported for GRAPH requests. These commands give the same result as accessing the graphs through the menus. The asterisks can be replaced by resource names. Lowercase letters are optional.

Extended graph commands

The following extended command formats are available:

  • GRAPH GLBL area nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn

    where

    Variable

    Description

    area

    Designates CICS, SYSTEM, SERVICE, or SUBPOOL

    nnn

    Represents up to six applicable fields for each area

    Leading zeros are required.

  • GRAPH area resource nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn nnn

    where

    Variable

    Description

    area

    Designates TRAN, TERM, PANL, MAPS, PSBS, or FILE

    resource

    Specifies the resources to be selected (and may contain generic specifications)

    nnn

    Represents up to six applicable fields for the monitor record type of the selected resources

    Leading zeros are required.

Two methods exist for determining the extended graph command:

  • Using RECALL

    To view the graph command that is used to create a given graph request, type the RECALL command while viewing the display. The displayed graph can be the result of either a predefined selection or a user-defined graph selection. The graph command can be used as a sample for creating new graphs.

  • Using offline creation

    You can select the command format (as previously listed) and determine the applicable values. Graph fields are listed in Cross-reference-for-graph-fields-data-fields-in-graphs. Each field is listed alphabetically and identifies its field number and the area to which it applies. Field numbers also are included in the online field descriptions that are displayed when you view Help.
