Communication Activity and Status view (IUSTAT)


The Communication Activity and Status view (IUSTAT) summarizes the input and output status for each terminal and user as Good, Bad, or Resp. You can quickly check status by looking at the input and output status summary fields and by evaluating information in the Last Trn/Ltrm field.

The IUSTAT view provides the following message activity information:

  • Number of messages currently enqueued to each terminal or user
  • Number of messages queued for output from each terminal or user
  • Age of the last message enqueued to dynamic SPQBs
  • Destination of the last message entered by each terminal or user

On the view you can hyperlink to information about the terminal or user and to determine the reasons for the condition. You can use line commands (see Line-commands-Manage-terminal-and-user-status) on the view to solve problems indicated in the I/P Stat and O/P Status fields by a Bad, Resp-Inp, or Resp-Inp-FP status.

You can hyperlink to the IUSTAT view from the:

  • Input/Output Status option in the IMS Easy Menu (EZIMS), IMS Fast Menu (EZIFAST), and IMS SSI Easy Menu (EZISSI)
  • Output Messages option in the IMS Operations Menu (EZIOPSR)
  • LTERM Name field in the IUSTATZ view
  • LTERM field in the Total Response Time by Transaction and LTERM view (IRSPTRLR)
  • LTERM field in the Total Response Time by LTERM and Transaction view (IRSPLTTR)

Note

When an IMS subsystem is using shared message queues, the Age field in the IUSTAT view displays a value of SMQ, indicating that the statistic is available only for local message queue environments.

If SMQ is displayed in the Que Cnt field, the ISQQUERY parameter in BBPARM member IMFBEX00 is preventing collection of message count data for IMS subsystems using shared message queues. When the ISQQUERY parameter is allowing collection of message count data for shared message queues, you can also use it to define the refresh rate for the data.

For information about using the ISQQUERY parameter, see MainView for IMS and MainView for DBCTL Customization Guide. To determine the current setting of the ISQQUERY parameter, use the IBEXSUMR view.
