The CONNECTS view shows summarized information about ISC and MRO connections. CONNECTS is a summary form of the CONNECT view.
The CONNECTS view is available for all managed CICS® systems.
Where the parameters are the same as those for CONNECT (see CONNECT - ISC/MRO connections).
The CONNECTS view looks like the CONNECT view shown in Figure 3 with one addition: the Count field. This field appears next to the CICS System field, and indicates how many resources were combined to form each line of summary data.
By default, the view is summarized by CICS system. If you place the cursor on a field of data and issue the SUM display command, the view is summarized by the data in that field.
Table 16 shows the action commands you can issue from the CONNECTS view. These action commands affect all of the resources that were combined to form the summary line of data. The overtype fields are shown in Table 17.
The action commands and overtype fields for the CONNECTS view are available for all managed CICS systems for which CONNECTS is valid, except as noted in Table 16.
Primary command | Line command | Description |
---|---|---|
n/a | ACQ | Acquires a connection (APPC only). |
n/a | CAN | Cancels automatic initiation descriptor (AID) queuing for a connection. |
n/a | DSC | Discards a connection from the CICS system where it is installed. The connection must be out of service before it can be discarded. |
n/a | EAF | Ends a connection's affinity with a VTAM generic resource group. The connection must be out of service and, for APPC, in NORECOVDATA state. (APPC and LU6.1 connections only.) |
n/a | FCN | Cancels all automatic initiation descriptor (AID) queuing, including system AID queuing, for a connection. |
n/a | FOR | Forces transactions associated with a connection to be immediately purged (VTAM® only). |
n/a | IN | Places a connection in service. |
n/a | NOR | Forces all in-doubt units of work, forgets any outstanding resynchs, and erases the logname previously received from the partner system. This overrides the resynchronization process. (APPC connections only.) |
n/a | NTP | Forces all in-doubt units of work and forgets any outstanding resynchs created before the initial (or cold) start of the partner system. This overrides the resynchronization process. (APPC and CICS MRO connections only.) |
n/a | OUT | Takes a connection out of service. |
n/a | PUR | Purges normally the transactions associated with a connection
(VTAM only). CICS terminates the transactions associated with this connection
only if system and data integrity can be maintained.
Note:
A transaction
is not purged if its definition specifies SPURGE=NO. |
n/a | REL | Releases a connection (APPC only). |
n/a | SET | Sets a connection attribute according to the new value
you specify in an overtype field (see Table 17).
Note:
The value you specified in the Require Set field on the CICSPlex® System Manager entry
panel determines whether or not you must use the SET command when you overtype
a field. |
n/a | UOW | Displays the Shunted UOWs for Failed Connection input panel (Figure 4), which lets you specify whether a unit of work shunted because of the failure of this connection should be backed out, committed, forced, or resynchronized. |
Field name | Values |
---|---|
Connect Status | ACQUIRED | RELEASED (APPC only) |
Service Status | INSERVICE | OUTSERVICE |
From the CONNECTS view, you can hyperlink from the Count field to the CONNECT view to expand a line of summary data. The CONNECT view includes only those resources that were combined to form the specified summary line.
